Political scientist Duleba: The world has changed since yesterday – Home – News – PRAVDA.sk

“It’s hard for me to find words. Putin decided how he decided, and the world changed. We had one world we lived in until yesterday, now we have another. At the moment, no one knows yet where it will end and what it all will do. will mean for our lives, “commented Alexander Duleba, a political scientist for Pravda, who focuses on the foreign policy of Slovakia and Eastern Europe.

Duleba also considers the way Russia chose to attack. “The mere fact that the Russians used short- and medium-range missiles is significant. Gorbachev and Reagan agreed in 1988 that they would never be used again. The Americans withdrew these missiles from Europe and the Soviets withdrew from the European part of Russia. They used them now. It is an absolute precedent that refutes everything that has been argued since the end of the Cold War, “says Duleba.

“It simply came to our notice then. We will have to build a missile defense and prepare for Russia to be totally isolated. Russia will be excluded from the SWIFT financial system and will not be tradable. I still can’t say what all this will mean today, “he added.
