Ricardo Alexandre, SIC commentator, analyzes the latest developments in the war in Ukraine and highlights that It is expected that this Wednesday will be a “more tense day” and that “in operational and military terms, Ukraine is in a more unfavorable situation.”
Russia guarantees that Ukraine has already used long-range North American missiles against Russian soil. Moscow says it managed to intercept five missiles, but a sixth caused damage to military installations. Vladimir Putin, however, reviewed Russian doctrine and authorized the use of nuclear weapons, in response to actions with conventional weapons. For all these reasons, “today is more dangerous” and “it is no coincidence that the United States embassy decided to withdraw personnel and advised North Americans residing in the Ukrainian capital to stay at home and in shelters”, says Ricardo Alexandre .
The US embassy in Kiev has been closed due to a possible large-scale airstrike on the Ukrainian capital. The information is being provided by the US Department of Consular Affairs. It would have been a preventative measure. The mayor of Kiev guarantees that the city was the target of bombings and that defense systems were active to try to destroy the missiles.
“Today is a more dangerous day, especially after Ukraine allegedly attacked the Bryansk region with another six or eight missiles. The numbers differ depending on the sources, but after this attack and Russia promising significant retaliation, it is to wait for a more tense day.
In fact, it is no coincidence that the United States embassy decided to withdraw its personnel and advised Americans residing in the Ukrainian capital to stay at home and in shelters because the United States has information that there may be a ‘significant attack’ , was the expression used, therefore, it is naturally a more tense day”, explains the SIC commentator.
Ricardo Alexandre explains that, this Tuesday, the Russian President limited himself to putting his signature at the moment he deemed opportune, this could either be because it marked 1,000 days of war, or mainly because Washington had given the “green light” for its use by Ukraine of ranged weapons on Russian territorybecause Russian nuclear doctrine was already revised.
“The review of this doctrine [nuclear] It’s been over a month and the document was ready, he needed to sign it, he chose to sign it yesterday, to make that signature public yesterday, precisely to create the effect he managed to create”highlights the SIC commentator and TSF International editor.
Ukrainian public opinion is increasingly war-weary. Ricardo Alexandre reports on a survey of the Gallup Institute made in Ukraine about perceptions regarding the war and, at this time, More than half of Ukrainians say they would like to see the country negotiate an end to the war as quickly as possible.
“There are already less than 40%, 38%, less than 4 in 10, those interviewed who say that Ukraine, Ricardo should fight until the end and it is interesting and the evolution is interesting. In 2022, in the year in which it began the large-scale Russian invasion, 73% of Ukrainian respondents believed that Ukraine should continue fighting until it wins, this number drops 10 percentage points the following year, from 63 to 38% between 2023 and 2024”, details the commentator. from SIC.
In the journalist’s opinion, What is happening on the ground at the moment makes the position of Ukraine more difficult, which has waited a long time for Washington’s “green light” and, at the moment, in operational and military terms, is in a more unfavorable situation.
