Putin "burned down" Russian networks

 

Putin is not only throwing hastily formed reserves on the Ukrainian front. For example, the well-known 3rd Army Corps, formed mainly from military pensioners who grew up in the paradigm of the Soviet army. Putin goes into battle and burns Russian networks in Europe itself. He is doing this out of desperation, in an effort to pressure European governments to reduce or stop support for Ukraine. The Russian dictator is in a panic and is trying to pressure and influence European governments, getting them to cooperate with Moscow. More precisely, to tacitly agree with the large-scale war crime that Putin's Russia is currently committing in Ukraine.

What Russian residents are saying in European countries is formulated very simply: don't stop us from killing Ukrainians, it's none of your business. Otherwise, we will not only stop the sale of gas, but we will shake your countries and governments from within in various ways. Including mass actions in the cities and capitals of Europe. As happened recently, especially in Prague, Berlin and Cologne. The Russians know what they are doing - Europe, not Russia. It is precisely in Moscow and St. Petersburg that even participants of individual protests are caught, together with frightened passers-by who happened to be nearby and crash into the "funnels" of the Russian Guard. European democracy works differently - even pro-Russian rallies are considered a manifestation of democracy in Europe. Despite the suspicion that all these actions and activities of marginal European politicians were inspired by Russian special services.

Russian columns in the EU and USA are made up of Russians living in these countries. Some for many years and even decades. Many of them receive aid from the governments of the host countries, their elderly parents receive pensions, even though they have never worked a day for the economy of that same America. The children of these Russians study in German-British-American schools and all together enjoy all the advantages of the countries where they have decided to live. Because it is many times better there than in Russia.

But the truth is that using all the advantages of the civilized world does not lead to qualitative mental changes in the minds of many of them.

"Putin is coming, Russia will rise from its knees and we will still show this corrupt West - this is a very polite description of the ideas of Russian migrants about the value system and the role of Russia in opposing the West." Such residents can be compared with Russian pensioners, who were once resettled en masse to Crimea. So that at the right moment they, already in the status of "local population", would support the occupation of this territory by Russian troops. And they created an image of mass support - rallies, flags, interviews and slogans about "returning to the homeland".

What are they counting on in Moscow, stimulating various fringe movements across Europe? On the vulnerability of European democracy. Which should also listen to pro-Russian sentiments and speeches. The fact that the media is reacting to all this, commenting and interviewing the participants and leaders of all these gatherings and movements for Russia's right to kill Ukrainians, destroy cities and rob the local population in Ukraine — without the intervention of the world community. They demand an end to aid to Ukraine... And then tell me that these actions in Europe are not directed by Putin! The Western observer is forced to believe that it is Russia's sole business to do what it sees fit in Ukraine, which the Russians consider their property. Contrary to existing facts — the world recognition of Ukraine as an independent state, as well as the fact that Ukraine is a full member of the UN and other international organizations. And it has the rights of a sovereign country, including the right to self-defense and all kinds of assistance from the civilized world.

Recently, the German newspaper "Der Spiegel" published the results of its own investigation, according to which some European countries are practically open to the work of Russian intelligence agents, agents of the Kremlin, hackers, saboteurs and pro-Russian influential groups.

One of the most vulnerable countries is Germany, whose special services have turned a blind eye to the activities of Russian spies and provocateurs for decades. Such freedom of action of the Russian special services, I think, is explained by various factors. Historical trauma after the Second World War, memories of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the unification of Germany, reorientation to other threats.

But "Der Spiegel" concludes that the invasion of Ukraine "opened the eyes" of Western governments. Therefore, we hope that the "open door" policy and the permissibility of Russian special services operating on foreign territory will come to an end. Something has to be done about it. As with the increased activity of pro-Russian networks and groups, which are gradually coming out of a comatose state and trying to influence the politics of EU countries.

 

I hope that Putin's forced, desperate actions, as a result of which he activated "sleepers" in EU countries, will provide the special services of Western countries with the necessary information about the organization of the "Russian world" in their countries. About Russian residence centers, communication methods and work methods in EU countries. This information will undoubtedly be useful in understanding the destabilization methods used by Moscow and ways to neutralize Russian influence on European politics and the political process, including countering election interference. Which is the basic task of every sovereign democracy.
