Russian Colonel General commanding the Central Military District: war in Ukraine "an intermediate stage" in a longer war for Eastern Europe, which Russia "will have to attack".
https://nitter.net/laowaiaround/status/1699973178372903055#mSpeaking to an interviewer from Russian state media channel Россия 1, Col. Gen. Mordvichev says the quiet part out loud regarding the broader goals of Russian policy: namely that the ambition of conquering Ukraine is only a stepping stone to attacking the rest of Eastern Europe, a course of action which he presents as a necessity ("we will have to attack").
I would opine that statements like these, brazenly uttered to domestic mass media by a senior military figure, are indicative of the realities of Russian ambitions: to revive Russian imperial domination of Eastern Europe by force of arms.
