The Kremlin is weakening and will not be able to conduct large-scale military provocations in Ukraine and Syria in the near future, moving at the same time to the policy of isolationism.

This was stated by the Russian opposition politician Konstantin Borovoi, reports "Apostrophe".

In his opinion, Russia failed to split the West and impose its vision of the situation in Ukraine.

"Moreover, the EU-US split did not work either. Thanks to the provocations that were committed in Syria, Russia once again confirmed its unpredictability and inadequacy. By violating agreements, it frightened the West, "the politician noted..

Borovoy stressed that the Kremlin is very weak and does not have the opportunity to conduct a large-scale propaganda campaign and military adventures, but the "petty dirty tricks" will continue to be mandatory.

"Syria remains the most likely place for such dirty tricks, but actions on the territory of Ukraine are not ruled out," he explained..

The Russian oppositionist also believes that from the upcoming meeting between Putin and French President Emmanuel Macron, too, one should not expect anything.

"Macron has a rather tough position, I believe that he will remind Putin of his obligations and obligations of Russia to respect other people's borders. Ritual words about cooperation will be uttered. Putin uses this meeting to promote his idea of ??the senselessness of sanctions, the unnecessary isolation of Russia. In this meeting there will be more protocol than some kind of advancement.

Putin himself is not interested in this progress and does everything to make it impossible, "Borovoy said, adding that Putin is only interested in preserving personal power, for which he will pursue a policy of isolationism.

As reported by the "Observer", according to Russian political scientist Dmitry Oreshkin, the Kremlin was on the verge of a conflict with NATO because of its position with respect to IGIL.
