According to intelligence, the Russian authorities have still avoided actions to remove the Great War outside Ukraine. The risks of US escalation are estimated as significant. "Russia's aggressive war with Ukraine is a significant event that changes relations between the Russian Federation with the West and China.
Ways of conflict - extremely uncertain, escalation to military confrontation between Moscow and the West carries a great risk that the world has not encountered decades," Specialists noted. The US special services have come to the conclusion that in the next 10 years, Moscow will represent a significant call of Washington in the key areas, but will still face a number of restrictions.
"Russia will continue to defend its interests for dominance over other countries in the post -Soviet space, in particular, using military force as in Ukraine," the report reads. Russia's military failures in a full -scale war with Ukraine can harm the internal reputation of its President Vladimir Putin. Additional escalation of hostilities in an attempt to win is possible, the special services said.
Moscow will continue to use many tools to promote their interests and undermine the influence of the United States and their allies. These can be military remedies, harmful effects, cybernetics and reconnaissance. The economic and energy levers of the Russian Federation will later decrease, according to the US national intelligence. The Russian forces continue to concentrate efforts on the capture of Donbass, but in 2023 it is not necessary to expect success, added in intelligence.
"Moscow will become more dependent on nuclear, cyber and cosmic capabilities due to the large-scale defeat of the Land Forces. Severe losses, ammunition costs during the conflict weakened Moscow's possibilities for land and air base," officials summed up. It should be reminded that the secretary of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security, Defense and Intelligence Roman Kostenko stated on February 28 that Russia is preparing to start the offensive in the spring.
