Only the language of power: The State Duma proposed to sever ties with Finland and the Baltic states

Russia needs to sever ties with the Baltic States and Finland. This was stated by the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on Defense Alexei Zhuravlev.

According to Zhuravlev, this should have been done a long time ago.

"Historical experience shows that such non—states - and, by the way, those that gained independence only thanks to Russia — understand only the language of force. Otherwise, it's useless to talk to them," the deputy said. Life.ru .

He noted that Russia's trade turnover with these countries is insignificant, and the same Baltic states, in turn, are losing billions of euros from a break with the Russian Federation. According to Zhuravlev, drones launched on the territory of Russia are most likely not manufactured on Ukraine, and at the enterprises of Helsinki, Tallinn or Riga. Finland and the Baltic states are openly hostile to the Russian Federation, so the attitude towards them should be appropriate, he added.

As EADaily reported, Russia needs to cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea in order to strengthen its negotiating positions. This was stated by military expert Viktor Litovkin.
