"Putin wants to attack NATO country to test Europe"
Anton Geraschenko is official advisor and former deputy minister of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry. He is a former member of the Ukrainian parliament. Therefore, his voice is relevant when analyzing the conflict with Russia.
On the social medium X, Anton Geraschenko says the following:
"To defeat his real enemies in Brussels and Washington, Putin might find it necessary to attack a NATO member. According to Russian elites, Estonia or Latvia, the two Baltic countries with large Russian minorities, would be the most likely targets."
For Anton Geraschenko, it is all part of a larger strategy.
"Such a provocation could be particularly useful for Russia in the run-up to the U.S. presidential election. In the past, Russian elites had little desire to risk nuclear conflict. But now many of them are convinced that NATO would not dare respond. They see the West as tired and divided, and therefore much less interested in fighting Russia."
