Gustavo de Arístegui on Russian invasion of Ukraine

Gustavo de Arístegui is a diplomat, ex-ambassador and writer. Gustavo is of the opinion that the constant tensions in Ukraine and Kazakhstan could threaten an invasion by the Russian Federation if the Western countries do not issue any response. He has had the opportunity to express his opinions on the matter in Herrera at COPE, and has clarified that the current situation is in a complex moment to manage. Russia's attempts are quite clear today and it is that for the expert they seem aimed at "building a belt of friendly countries", with the main objective of avoiding "instability". "Vladimir Putin cannot allow countries under his influence, such as Kazakhstan and Ukraine, to fall into the hands of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization," says de Arístegui.
The Soviet power has always longed for the old Great Russia, which occupied large territories throughout the European-Asian zone: " they don't feel comfortable flirting with the West ". And it is that for the Russians it is a question of absolute bravery to which, at the moment, NATO is lacking a response: "The reaction of the West is worrying; questions such as the political disappearance of the United Kingdom or the lack of leadership of the Biden administration in the United States are relevant issues," says Mr. Arístegui. The truth is that if the rope continues to give way, the problems are only going to grow.
