In a recent interview with Moscow’s state-run Russia-1, a clip of which circulated widely on social media Saturday, the newly appointed Colonel-General Andrey Mordvichev said that the war “will not stop here [in Ukraine].”
“If we are talking about Eastern Europe, which we will have to, of course then [the war] will be longer,” he added.
… I don’t think they have enough Russians for that.
It’s just coping mechanisms.
