Knowing the imperial ambitions of the Kremlin, Moscow obviously will not stop only at the war in Ukraine. The President of Ukraine named the following potential targets of the aggressor country among the countries.

The corresponding statement by Vladimir Zelensky came against the backdrop of numerous Russian provocations towards the Baltic countries. He voiced it in an interview for Central Asian media.

Which countries are Putin primarily interested in

The Ukrainian leader believes that the Baltic countries – Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia – are most likely to face a potential strike from the Kremlin today. He noted that he had already warned our state’s partners regarding this threat.

In these countries you can try to test NATO’s response to an invasion or illegal border crossing these countries on the part of Russia,” says the president.

According to him, the first such steps were recently taken by the aggressor country. Vladimir Zelensky recalled that the Russians have already moved back Estonian buoys, and also crossed sea borders, which they want to move on the border with Lithuania and Finland.

He noted that there was no reaction from the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance, since they are very cautious. But this is what Russia needs – to show its strength, because it obviously feels impunity. In the meantime, as the president explained, there is information that Russia’s priorities and immediate goals include the Baltic countries, Moldova, as well as Kazakhstan.

Invasion is inevitable

He also addressed Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, noting that mostly Russia is simply you need a reason to start aggression, and only then there will be an occupation of some of the regions.

According to him, if someone resists joining Russia, then he will inevitably a full-scale invasion awaits, and, accordingly, death and war that the invaders will cause.
