G7 seeks to undermine Russia’s ability to open new wars

According to The Guardian, Britain is pressing its allies to weaken Russia militarily because Ukraine warto the point that Moscow could never pose a threat to European security and President Putin’s armed forces had to completely leave Ukraine, bringing Ukraine back to its borders by 2014.

The G7 group of industrialized nations is also considering whether they can re-impose existing economic sanctions if Russia deliberately fails to implement hypothetical future peace agreements imposed by the West. put.

Britain has long argued that the war in Ukraine must end with President Putin deemed a failure and Russia withdrawing its troops from all territory it controls, including Crimea.

US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin alluded to that thinking when he said the US wanted the war in Ukraine to end and Russia would be too weak to repeat the attack on Ukraine. There has been speculation that Ukraine will settle down to a return to the status quo before the attack, ceding territory to Russian-backed separatists.

Last night (April 27), British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss pointed out the British thinking on the terms of the settlement as follows: “We will continue to go further, faster, to push Russia out of the whole Ukrainian territory”. She also warned Russian President Putin that the West will defend Moldova in the same way that it is protecting Ukraine if Moscow attacks the country. Ms. Truss said Britain will defend Ukraine and other countries that are threatened by Russia. The UK foreign minister also stated that the future of Russia’s access to the global economy will depend on playing by the rules, there will be no free passage anymore.

British thinking reflects a growing belief that in the long run economic, political and military forces opposed to President Putin could bring the Russian leader to a complete defeat.

Britain believes that ensuring Kiev’s security will include arming Ukraine with enough weapons so that Russia cannot attack the country. Britain does not support a NATO-style commitment that Ukraine’s allies will defend the country only if threatened by Russia.

Analysts say the tough settlement demands risk pushing Russia into a corner, forcing Moscow to threaten the use of tactical weapons. However, before that, President of Russia threatened to use nuclear weapons if the red line was crossed.
