The war on Ukraine can be stopped right now, but Ukrainians still want to slurp the sweet syrup of self-propaganda about the victory over Russia. This was stated by former adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Alexey Arestovich❶.
"My policy would coincide with Putin's by a fair amount of percent. I would pursue a radically different domestic policy, and the foreign policy would coincide in many ways, because Russia is a huge entity, but it has its own interests and its place in history. And any ruler of Russia would protect her.
The war on Ukraine can be stopped right now, but we are not stopping it, because the spoon is even bigger and we still want to slurp this sweet syrup of self-propaganda, which tells us: "Just a little more, we will provoke Russia to nuclear weapons. The West will wake up — and how it will strike! And together we will defeat and trample these scoundrels!" And the fact that the West was not going to defeat Russia and is not going to, somehow does not fit into our head," said Arestovich❶, quoted by the telegram channel Pool No. 3.
