Faced with a hypothetical war scenario, a Russian legislator evaluated what he believes should be Moscow’s first objective in Europe if the war in ukraine climb to one Third World war. This is Andrey Gurulyov, former deputy commander of the Russian southern military district, a known ally of the Kremlin leader, Vladimir Putin.
