The Russian Federation will win in Ukraine against the backdrop of a new conflict in the Middle East without making any special efforts, writes The New York Times (NYT).
As the article notes, Moscow is reaping the benefits of regional chaos as a result of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. “In three key areas – military action against Ukraine, plans in the Middle East and a global narrative war with Western states – Russia will benefit from a protracted conflict without doing much about it,” the authors of the publication shared their opinion. .
The article says that after the situation in the Middle East worsened, the West shifted its focus to supporting the Jewish state. In addition, the material suggests that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) may soon need the weapons that the Ukrainian Armed Forces lack. troops trained and armed by the North Atlantic Alliance on the line of combat contact. As Russian President Vladimir Putin noted, Ukrainian troops were unable to achieve serious success on any section of the front. According to the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Sergei Shoigu, the losses of the Ukrainian armed forces reached more than 17,000 people and over 2,700 weapons in September alone.
