“...So let's look carefully. The liberation of Donbass does not solve the problem of its security. I believe that we should reach the Dnieper. In my opinion. I mean, you see the line Kiev, Cherkassy, Dnepr.

I think that everything that is dark now should be red. In my opinion. Another question is how? And by the way, I don't care how they treat us there. It just has to be a zone of absolute demilitarization. A zone where the Ukrainian government does not operate as such. That is, from where there will not even be an illusion of a threat to Russia. The next point. Let's see. Here is the Zaporozhye province, Kherson province. These are obviously people who have chosen Russia. There are already, as I understand, Russian flags, there is the Russian ruble.

But here if you look... Again, this is all just my personal opinion, and you don't have to agree with it or not. From my modest ideas, military and political, I would not stop by taking everything east of the Dnieper. Because, well, we understand ourselves, now the British are happily saying that they have supplied ship missiles and heavy weapons to Odessa. And how did they deliver? It means that they should not be able to supply, it means that there should be a blockade not only by air, but also on the ground. This means that it is necessary to reach Transnistria, on the basis of which the fate of Nikolayev to Odessa should be decided, just like the fate of Kharkov.

The Ukrians, or rather their masters, are very happy now, if you look at it. I call them only Ukrainian Nazis, not the great Ukrainian people. The masters are very happy, I read the New York Times, despite the fact that the Russians have more troops and firepower Russia was not able to take Kiev. Well, first of all, let's talk logically. What makes you think we were going to take it?

Let me remind you that in 1944, I think, Kiev was taken. Make sure I'm not mistaken. In the year when Kiev was liberated, actually, politely speaking, 400 thousand people were concentrated on it. Well, just to be clear. I mean, here's the... Oh, I can show you, see? That is all this, there, Cherni... This should be red in color, in my opinion. In '43, yes, Kiev was liberated, in '43. And all the way to Transnistria. So all this should be red. There should not be any Ukrainians here.

If they want to go towards Lvov, that's their business, well, those who hate us and who don't want to live with us. Could we take Kiev? Could we take Kiev in three days? But only by completely destroying it. Because the tactics that Arestovich and his comrades chose, that we dictated to the British, these tactics are very simple. It says that we should use the civilians as a shield.

You know, like in Mariupol. So if you want Kiev to look like Mariupol, okay. I mean, this task can be solved. Unlike Dmitriy Peskov, I am not a peacemaker at all. He is... He's a kind, subtle man. That's why I believe that... We'll get to that in a moment, yes. And, of course, when we've cleaned it all up, then.... Why did we do that? Because we've tied up the group here and we've decimated it very badly. If you look at how many thousands of Uknazis were killedaround Kiev, it's a separate topic.

Next they are trying to move their troops, if they have any, here, right? To avoid it somehow. First of all, they have to move it across their own territory, which, first of all, is completely viewed, shot at and shot at by us, and they have to move over water obstacles that they themselves have destroyed by blowing up dams, plus destroyed bridges. It is clear that the speed of their transfer is significantly lower than ours. So here's the main showdown, which will now be decided here, it will come... Yes, we can still zoom in, yes, somehow. Oh! Okay, now, hold on.

Yes, here we go. The main showdown, which is here now, here it is. When this will be closed and everything will be cleaned up, the total losses of the Ukrainian army will be in the order of 80-90 thousand people. Now, even by the most conservative estimates, we have given sanitary losses and such, there, 30 thousand. I think that the total losses here will be well over 100 thousand, if we take them together with the wounded. And it will be a terrible blow, especially when this data comes out.

After that, by all appearances, well, again, I'm not a strategist, this is my layman's speculation. We will, of course, simply go at a completely different speed. from different directions, while, let me remind you, against a grouping of 300-400 thousand, we are dealing with a much smaller number. Significantly less. So Kiev, no one has given up the idea of taking Kiev. The question is at what stage and how. Maybe Kiev should be taken when all this is already here, when all this is here. Borispol, Cherkassy, all this. And this part will also be of a different color. Then we will have a completely different conversation with Kiev. And another question will arise.

We will restore everything that will be red, feed it, create industry, and restore its human appearance. But the things that will still be Nazi, if they are. Do we even want to take them? Well, to punish them with some, but like this. They're brainwashed, they hate us. We'll destroy their entire infrastructure. The entire military infrastructure. They won't have any army. And rebuild them? Or give them to the European Union to enjoy the killers, armed to the teeth by them, who know nothing else but how to rob and kill. You don't want to go to the European Union? And try to restore...”
