Russia is openly saying that they are at war with NATO and fighting them alone.

RT:

Moscow stands alone in its battle against the US-led NATO military bloc and is capable of vanquishing its enemies on its own, Russia’s former president Dmitry Medvedev has said.

“Russia alone is fighting NATO and the Western world,” Medvedev, who is the deputy head of the nation’s Security Council and the leader of the ruling United Russia party, wrote on his Telegram channel on Saturday.

“We are capable of destroying a mighty enemy or alliances of enemies by ourselves,” the former president stated, adding that during its military activities Moscow is seeking to preserve the lives of its soldiers and civilians.

Medvedev wrote that Russia has not yet used “its full arsenal” of weapons and has not struck “all potential enemy targets.” He added that “there is time for everything.”

They are absolutely at war with NATO as Medvedev is articulating here. It doesn’t matter if NATO has officially said so or not. They are basically directing all the logistical and strategic efforts in the Ukraine against Russia. Not to mention you have all the sanctions etc..

It will be interesting to see what happens when Russia fully commits their mobilized force of 300,000 soldiers to the theater. All this talk about the Ukrainian side taking back Kherson will be nothing but a distant memory when this happens. We could see this happen over the next few months.
