“A war is never static. There are ups and downs, it’s what we call the fog of war.”
“This war was initially only supposed to last three days. The American services and the Russian services had agreed that it would only last three days. The strategic surprise was the resistance of the Ukrainians. And from April 2022, the Americans followed by the Europeans decided to get involved in this war. And suddenly it became an undeclared, proxy war between NATO and Russia.”
“We have been engaged in a very complicated war with Russia for three years, trying to prevent it from getting out of hand. The Americans have said from the beginning that they do not want a third world war and what has been done is to confine the war to Ukrainian territory alone. Hence the refusal to create a no-fly zone over Ukraine, the refusal to put NATO soldiers on Ukrainian territory, and then we avoid striking deep into the territory to prevent the “Russians don’t attack NATO countries.”
“The war goal of the Russians today is no longer to overthrow the regime in kyiv, it is to have control of Novorossia, that is to say the entire part of Ukraine colonized by Catherine II and composed mainly of Russian population. That’s what they want.”
