In a recent interview with Moscow’s state-run Russia-1, a clip of which circulated widely on social media Saturday, the newly appointed Colonel-General Andrey Mordvichev said that the war “will not stop here [in Ukraine].”
“If we are talking about Eastern Europe, which we will have to, of course then [the war] will be longer,” he added.
Even assuming it’s true (for the sake of argument) why would you say such a thing?
Especially if it’s true.
For internal consumption.
Just keep saying you’re winning massive victories and planning to rename the streets in Amsterdam, and some Russians might be dumb enough to believe it
Hehe, I guess it is the kind of thing that you would not say if it’s true, so that means it’s not true because they said it.
Or something. It gets confusing fast.
Or they say it just so you think that isn’t their plan, while it actually is their plan all along.
Russian is good at propaganda.
To get the country behind the idea of fighting a long hard war. That is needed right now fighting Ukraine and much more of it is needed, if they would fight the EU.
Because things have gone south so hard, that self-sabotage might be the easier way out, by now.
To get everyone at war and boost military industry sales
