There was an escalation in the war in Ukraine, with an increase in attacks, says professor

There has been an escalation in the Ukrainian War and speeches, with increased attacks, in recent days. This is the assessment of the professor of international law at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Lucas Carlos Lima.

In an interview with CNN Radiohe stated that “Ukraine has been able to react more intensely with western armaments that are arriving, with NATO states offering not only humanitarian but also military support.”

This caused, for the expert, the speech of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov about the possibility of a 3rd World War. “Russian doctrine is that nuclear weapons will be used if there is a threat to them. Whether this is bravado or not will become clear in the coming days.”

“On the other hand, we have attempts at appeasement, such as sending the UN Secretary General, António Guterres, to a meeting with Putin, so that an attempt is made to reach an agreement”, he pondered.

The interruption of gas supplies to Bulgaria and Poland for not paying for fuel in rubles, for the professor, will have an impact on the economy of European countries.

“The most obvious effect is the rise in the price of energy, which also causes the cost of production to rise, and causes profit and purchasing power to decrease, the economy will be squeezed for as long as sanctions last.”
