Will Ukrainian missiles bring peace?

The only thing Putin fears most is a sharp deterioration of the economic situation at home, but if this is accompanied by a severe energy crisis, the war will be felt by every Russian soldier.

“The problem is that the Russians don’t really understand the meaning of this war. That’s why 70% of them are ready to end the war right now.”

Moreover, Ukrainian missiles will be able to take out large businesses too — not only oil refineries but metallurgical plants and others. They can also knock out a lot of logistics — railway hubs, etc. And deterioration on that front is far more frightening for Putin than even the situation at the front. After all, regardless of the battlefield, Russia will be confronted with the onset of a new 1990s, and that is their greatest fear: a return to an era of humiliation and defeat.

Therefore, the missile program is probably the most important program today for ending the war and starting negotiations. But things here are far from as rosy as they are shown in the pictures. There is a reason why Peklo, Palyanytsya, and most likely Flamingo will not fly en masse. I won’t voice it, but the Russians know about it. We hope this will be resolved by the New Year, and in January every occupier will feel on their own skin what it’s like to go to sleep under incoming strikes and to dig through the morning’s rubble with people in it.

Regarding the Tomahawks. Yes, Trump is seriously considering providing us with these missiles, but not for use against Russia. A separate authorization from him would be required to strike Russia. For him, this is a way to punish Putin for abandoning him and, at the same time, force him to sit down at the negotiating table. Trump has had positive experience when raising the stakes worked in his favor — the strike on a nuclear facility in Iran. Therefore, he is seriously considering this decision, but if he does make it, it will be after October 10.
