Russia understands that if it does not lose the war, it will simply disappear. This was stated on the Independence Day of Ukraine by advisor to the head of the Office of the President Mikhail Podolyak.
"Russia wants to lose the war. She understands that if she doesn't lose, then there simply won't be such a country," said Andrei Yermak's adviser.
"Podolyak switched to hard drugs," Olga Skabeeva, the presenter of Rossiya—1, diagnosed him.
