Shortly following the missile strikes on Kiiu and others, Russian President Putin emphasized that it was in retaliation for the Crimean Bridge explosion.

<푸틴/러시아 대통령>“The Kiiwu regime is one of the most infamous international terrorist organizations. It is impossible to leave these crimes unsolved.”

However, the British daily Guardian analyzed that not only simple retaliation but Putin’s personal pride was the cause of the raid.

“Putin, who was in a desperate situation following losing battles one following another, carried out air strikes to turn the war into an advantage,” he added.

The New York Times and BBC further drew attention by giving an interpretation that it was a paving stone to quell the complaints of the hardliners inside Russia.

In fact, as the charter situation became unfavorable both inside and outside the military, accusations once morest President Putin continued, but following the airstrikes, it remarkably calmed down.

In addition, there are interpretations that it is an action to increase fear by destroying electricity and water supply ahead of winter.

In the midst of this, the British daily The Times heard the meaning of Crimea itself as another reason for President Putin’s retaliation without hesitation.

He pointed out that the Crimean Peninsula has a special meaning to Putin, such as serving as an outpost for the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
