The sanctions of the West prevent Russia from getting ready for a big war, which was expected in the General Staff of the Russian Federation by 2025. This was broadcast by the Russian military expert Pavel Felgenhauer on the air of 112 Ukraine TV channel. "Russia is preparing for war, this is not news ... We are preparing yet ... According to the plans for assessing the threats of the General Staff of the Russian Federation, this should have been somewhere by 2025. In any case, in the 1920s. Therefore, the rearmament program was designed to ensure that by this time Russia is prepared, and that oil will go up, there will be a lot of money for this, "he said.. The expert noted that everything turned out not at all the way it was planned. "And the conflict in the Crimea and the Donbas happened too early.

Sanctions are very hampered because they expected new weapons to be on Western technologies, as it often happened in Russian history, "explained Felgenhauer. At the same time, he stressed that the threat of a big war is growing. "On the edge of the hearth of war in the world Middle East, Donbass, where the fighting is going on. In the Far East there is a threat of war. And all these pockets can merge. There is such a small chance that they will merge into one global war, and maybe there will be one big regional war. So in Moscow they are considering the current situation ", - he summed up.
