MOSCOW, 14 Jul. After the completion of the special military operation in Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin has three options, writes the American edition of The Hill.
"The Russian leader can "start a military campaign" or try to create an alternative to the UN. The third option is to strengthen power within the country", says University of Baltimore professor David Lingelbach.
In his opinion, Putin's position is strong. «The special operation in Ukraine is going well, and the ruble has become stronger than ever since February 2020,” the professor noted. In addition, Lingelbach drew attention to the steady growth of the president’s rating. “There is no one who, in the eyes of the Russian public, can make Russia stronger,” the author concluded. Since February 24, Russia has been conducting a military special operation to denazify and demilitarization of Ukraine. Vladimir Putin called its task «the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.» According to the President, the ultimate goal of the operation is the liberation of Donbass and the creation of conditions guaranteeing the security of Russia itself. rivals
