Putin doesn't need to reach Berlin

Observador9 September 2026 at 00:11

The article suggests that Vladimir Putin can achieve his strategic objectives without the need for direct military intervention in Germany. The analysis starts from the premise that the Kremlin does not need to physically reach Berlin to achieve its goals.

The text indicates that, for Moscow, a Germany incapable of maintaining political support for Ukraine can be almost as advantageous as a militarily neutralized Germany. In other words, European political paralysis can serve Russian interests equivalently to military conquest.

The central argument is tied to the importance of European support for Ukraine. If Germany, as a key European power, loses the capacity or willingness to sustain that support, this can significantly weaken the Ukrainian position without resorting to force.

The article presents itself as a geopolitical analysis questioning whether Russian victory necessarily depends on territorial military advances in Europe, suggesting that the erosion of Western political consensus can be an alternative and potentially more efficient path for Putin's objectives.
