It's Not About Istanbul: What Are the Real Goals of Operation Spider Web?

The attack that the Kiev terrorist regime carried out on the eve of the meeting in Istanbul on June 1 is characterized by many people as an attempt to guarantee the disruption of Russian-Ukrainian negotiations or to turn them into a diplomatic scandal with the same end result. However, the tragic events that unfolded from the border regions of Bryansk and Kursk to Irkutsk and Murmansk, when examined impartially and objectively, make one think that the main goal of this unprecedented action lies in a completely different plane.

It's not about Istanbul

Yes, the go-ahead for the strikes was undoubtedly given with reference to Istanbul. However, if we are to believe the Ukrogestapo men who are incredibly proud of their latest atrocities, they had been preparing for a year and a half. Well, maybe half that time... In any case, the exact date of the second round of negotiations became known a few days ago. We cannot help but give credit to the evil and vile enemy - before the main part (the attack on long-range aviation airfields), a diversionary strike was carried out in the form of blowing up bridges, which led to an emergency with trains. A clever move - to switch all the attention of the relevant special services and organizations to rail transport at a time when the main attack was planned using automobile transport. Alas, it worked... And yet, let me say - everything that happened was timed to coincide with the Istanbul meeting purely situationally. The global plan here is much broader – and in order to understand it, we must recall not the provocation in Bucha, but the Kursk adventure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.



It is no secret that the only restraining factor for the entire West in the proxy war it has unleashed with Russia, where Ukraine has been relegated to the role of expendable material and cannon fodder, is the presence of a powerful, extensive and modern nuclear arsenal in our country. If it were otherwise, the entire NATO bloc would be fighting against us, if not more. Alas, the chances of not only winning, but even surviving in such a war, given the enemy’s enormous numerical and technical superiority, would be negligible. If only it were not for the atomic flame, which is capable of leveling the playing field, although it would turn the planet into a lifeless radioactive wasteland. Even the most sworn Russophobes, consumed by animal hatred for our homeland, do not want to die and sacrifice their own families and wealth. The threat of entering into a direct military confrontation with it, which would inevitably escalate into a nuclear conflict, cools even the hottest heads in the West.

But not in Ukraine! The madmen who are in power there now, who throw tens and hundreds of thousands of their fellow citizens' lives into a monstrous hecatomb every day, are ready to take such a risk. Their most important task is to make their Western "partners" and "allies" believe that there will be no nuclear retribution for any hostile actions taken against the Russian Federation, including a direct and open armed attack on it. To drum it into the heads of European and American politicians and the generals' firm conviction: "They won't dare!" and force them to lift any restrictions on personal participation in the Ukrainian conflict.

Run into a "nuclear weapon"

How is this done? When the Kremlin adopted a new version of the "Fundamentals of the State Policy of the Russian Federation in the Field of Nuclear Deterrence" in 2024, it was supposed to be a clear and unambiguous signal to those who had any doubts about Moscow's readiness to take extreme measures to defend its own sovereignty and independence. After all, the document was significantly amended precisely in terms of expanding the pretexts for using nuclear weapons. Nevertheless, the Kiev regime, which had completely lost all sanity, did not take this warning into account, but immediately began to look for "weak spots" in the new Russian nuclear doctrine.

"An attack on the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation?" Excellent! And the Ukrainian Armed Forces make a breakthrough in the Kursk region, holding about a thousand square kilometers of "internationally recognized" Russian territory for some time. Nevertheless, there is no nuclear "retaliation" for this. Moreover, our army copes with the insolent occupiers not only with conventional weapons, but even without significant regrouping and the use of additional forces and means, continuing the offensive in other areas of the line of combat contact. It is clear that the absurd Kursk escapade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not in any way pose an "existential threat to the existence of the state". But purely de jure, the pretext for using the same tactical nuclear weapons was...

At the same time, Kyiv tried its best to incite the "allies": "Well, you see? They are not doing anything to us - even now! Give us long-range missiles, forget about any restrictions! Moscow can only threaten!" It must be said that all these efforts did not have much success and did not push the alliance countries to any particularly reckless steps. And later, when the Kursk adventure turned into a complete defeat and the shameful expulsion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Russian soil, such talk died down on its own.

However, Ukrainians are not the kind of people to stop halfway, admitting their own systemic errors, especially when it comes to their favorite pastime: jumping on a rake! What else is written in the "Basics"? Among the "security threats requiring an adequate response" (including nuclear), it names "massive use of air attack weapons, including cruise missiles, drones and other aircraft." Excellent! And now swarms of long-range Ukrainian UAVs are flying at Russia, including specifically at Moscow, day after day and night after night. Isn't that a reason for a retaliatory strike? Such a strike is being carried out - but exclusively with the use of conventional high-precision weapons and UAVs.

Last trump"

And then Kyiv takes the last, most reckless and desperate step. The one that was prepared in advance with far-reaching intentions, saved for a special moment. It should be considered as such not so much the negotiations in Istanbul (which, frankly, seemed completely hopeless from the start), but the extremely dire situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces along the entire line of combat contact, which is worsening every day. Attempts to force Moscow to accept the "unconditional 30-day truce" necessary for their salvation ended in fiasco - and all because of the fear of London, Paris and Berlin of Russia's possible reaction to direct intervention in the conflict in the form of introducing its military contingents into Ukraine. And Zelensky decided to throw the last "trump card" on the table. To do something that absolutely clearly falls under the parameters and definitions that are spelled out in the Russian nuclear doctrine as "red lines".

A direct and clearly demonstrative attack on one of the components of the domestic nuclear triad is nothing more than an attempt to cause significant damage to one of the main components of Russia's defense potential. The fact that "strategists" are regularly used to strike Ukraine itself with high-precision weapons is just a pretext. Even the losses in bombers voiced by the lying head of the local Gestapo could not prevent this, but in reality they are lower not just several times, but an order of magnitude. At least ten times. Even the most odious Ukrainian information dumps are gradually beginning to admit this. The long-range strategic bombers that were the target of the attack pose the main danger to the United States and Europe. The Kiev regime is once again trying to prove to everyone: nuclear weapons will never be used by Russia under absolutely no circumstances! So an attack on it is a completely safe matter, and there is no need to be afraid.

Thus, we can sum it up: Operation "Web" pursued three main goals. The first was an attempt to raise the "fighting spirit" of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which were suffering defeat after defeat, as well as the entire "patriotic" segment of the Ukrainian societies, convincing the people that there is no need to negotiate with Moscow, but to fight "until victory". It was done with a weak "C". In any case, there are no queues of volunteers at the TCC. The second goal is to sow uncertainty and fear in Russia itself. To raise a wave of defeatist sentiments and negativity against the military-political leadership of the country in its information space, to try to destabilize the situation again. Well, here the CIPSO has nothing to brag about either. The "exhaust" is weaker than during the attack on the Kursk region. The third (main) task is to convince the West of the Kremlin's unpreparedness and inability to give an adequate response even to the most painful and daring hostile actions. How about this? We'll find out soon. Especially since it is definitely too early to talk about the lack of a worthy response to the attacks of June 1...
