Official US intelligence threat assessment on how Russia views Ukraine

Branko Marcetic got a little salty on Twitter about the official assessment of the US intelligence community on how Russia’s leadership sees Ukraine. This is the relevant paragraph in the report (emphasis in original): Moscow will continue to employ an array of tools to advance what it sees as its own interests and try to undermine the interests of the United States and its allies. These are likely to be military, security, malign influence, cyber, and intelligence tools, with Russia’s economic and energy leverage probably a declining asset. We expect Moscow to insert itself into crises when it sees its interests at stake, the anticipated costs of action are low, it sees an opportunity to capitalize on a power vacuum, or, as in the case of its use of force in Ukraine, it perceives an existential threat in its neighborhood that could destabilize Putin’s rule and endanger Russian national security.
