As tensions simmer between Washington and Moscow over the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, experts are weighing in on Russia’s next moves and the message is clear. Watch What Happened.
According to Anna Borshchevskaya, a leading Russia specialist at the Washington Institute, President Vladimir Putin is unlikely to risk a direct military showdown with the United States.
Borshchevskaya told Reuters that Putin’s main focus remains the war in Ukraine, with other concerns, like Iran, taking a backseat. “It would be unwise for Russia to engage in a direct military conflict with the United States,” she warned, pointing out the potentially catastrophic consequences such a move could have for Moscow.
The analysis comes amid reports of increasing military cooperation between Russia and Tehran, including intelligence sharing aimed at US forces in the Middle East. But even with these growing ties, Borshchevskaya says an open confrontation with the US does not serve Putin’s strategic interests.
