It’s a deal. For us, it is a war and a sacrifice for the future of Russia.”
There is a significant part of society who say they are afraid and will not be satisfied with the security guarantees, if Ukraine simply continues to exist,
I find the word ‘deal’ disgusting, which glosses over the Russian sacrifice and the honor of our army.”
No one in the Kremlin is listening to these parts of society,
It’s all turned completely 180 degrees,
What is our specific Russian joy here
We’re working, we don’t have time, and we are not interested in it. It’s all about victory, victory, victory for us,
The ideology of Putinism … turned out to be an unstable isotope that disintegrates into its elementary particles at the first opportunity,
What matters, ... is how combat-ready the armed forces of Ukraine are, how the Russian Orthodox Church fares in Ukraine, and whose soldiers are walking around Kyiv, Odessa, Kharkov, Kramatorsk and Kherson, which, according to our constitution, are part of Russia.”
If Putin, our commander in chief, tomorrow announces that the war must end, we will accept it, of course with a broken heart, but we will accept it, and the war will stop,
Vladimir Putin was too European, too Western before. Now Putin is coming home, back to the bosom of Russian civilization. That’s wonderful, and we are looking forward to seeing him here,
We agree with the proposals to stop hostilities, but we proceed from the fact that this cessation should be one that would lead to long-term peace and eliminate the original causes of this crisis,
Putin put out a very promising statement, but it wasn't complete,
We would, of course, welcome a ceasefire in Ukraine, given the tremendous amount of suffering that we have seen in that conflict. We very much hope that it will materialize. It'll pave the way for a just peace and a just and sustainable peace,
It's normal if the war would have stopped for Europe to somehow step by step and also for the U.S. step by step to restore normal relations with Russia,
We are absolutely not there yet,
The Trump administration, the president himself, broke the deadlock in this war because he started to engage with the Russians,
The U.S. administration is now in dialogue with the Russians to see where they stand on this, and this will be a step-by-step approach,
He was a cheerleader for this rapprochement where the two leaders would come together, and that’s what happened, so thank God,
I am a member of that club that's buried a child,
