- According to Kasparov, Putin rejected a proposal in a conversation with Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to freeze the war along the current front because it would not remove the conflict’s causes.
- Kasparov points to Putin’s 2005 description of the Soviet Union’s collapse as the 20th century’s greatest geopolitical catastrophe and to his 2007 call for a fundamental change to Europe’s security order.
- In December 2021, Moscow demanded in writing, according to Kasparov, that NATO return militarily to its 1997 position, which would have affected Eastern European states that joined later.
- In Kasparov’s view, Ukraine thereby thwarted Putin’s broader plan; had the country collapsed, the international situation today and Poland’s security situation would be different.
That is the plan. A plan to change the world order.— Garri Kasparow, in an interview with Zero Hour, stated: "That is the plan. A plan to change the world order."
Kasparov warns: Putin's system is so dependent on war that peace is impossible.

- Kasparov does not expect a large-scale Russian invasion because, in his assessment, Putin lacks the necessary resources, but considers an armed provocation conceivable.
- He cites Daugavpils in eastern Latvia as an example, where a high share of residents are Russian-speaking; an attack there could aim to create the impression that NATO does not function.
- Kasparov points to earlier violations of NATO airspace and incidents at sea borders, while stressing that he was discussing possible future action rather than a decided attack.
- He doubts that Washington would fulfill its commitments and suspects a response could depend more on individual NATO states than on the alliance command, thereby questioning Article 5's deterrent effect.
