The Russian Federation plans to complete the "Ukrainian issue" by 2026, otherwise it will never be able to catch up with the level of the United States and China. This was announced by a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense Vadim Skibitskyi during the round table "New Contours of European Security".
According to Skibitsky, Russia has predicted 15 scenarios of possible military conflicts by 2045. Six of them are related to northern Europe.
"Northern Europe understands, the Baltic countries understand. Poland understands. For Poland, there are only four scenarios of a possible military conflict. Poland now understands that this is an immediate threat," he explained.
In particular, Moscow has created a geopolitical forecast for 2026-2035 with an assessment of its consequences until 2045. The documents state that the "Ukrainian issue" must be completed by 2026.
"Because if the war continues for another 5-10 years, Russia will never be able to catch up and become on the same level as the US and China," — the GUR representative added.
In conclusion, Skibitsky added that Ukraine's role is important in new approaches to organizing the European security system.
