Well, contacts in the humanitarian field, on the exchange of prisoners, they, in fact, have never stopped. The fact that they were stopped before the New Year, in my opinion, has nothing to do with the negotiation line that Trump is trying to implement, to be honest.

As for the goal and task that are chosen for strikes, I have my own opinion on this matter, as they say. I would put it this way. In the Russian elites, including, I think, in the ruling elites, that is, among the people who, well, unlike you and me, really make decisions, I think that there are two basic approaches.

The first approach is called "one people". Where the grandmother with the red flag is, the 22nd year, which means that they will meet us there with bread and salt, but how will we bomb their unfortunates there, I feel sorry for them, and all that stuff.

Here habit is stronger than nature. It is very difficult to break it, especially since people are all adults, all of them are many years old, and I think that quite a lot of people have this kind of internal attitude. And the second approach, it seems to me, is more rational. That is, I would not give him any moral and ethical definitions there. Well, politics is generally beyond the boundaries of both morality and ethics. Well, at least outside the framework of Christian morality and ethics. Any policy.

This is a question... there are both checks and results to achieve certain political goals. After all, the war is being waged for political purposes, that is, this is a stupid and sick completely sick bastard who was appointed Minister of Defense for Ukraine, but he is just stupid. That is, it's not even that he's sick, I don't have a desire to insult him.

A sexually mature man comes out and says, our goal is to kill 50 thousand Russians every month. Well, are you a fool or not? The war is not being waged to kill as many people as possible. On no side, neither on one nor the other, the war is waged to achieve political goals.

It seems to me that the political goal of Russia, which has not been pronounced, but I formulate it this way, is the destruction of the Ukrainian state-political project. Just destruction to zero, to ruins, so that there is nothing in this place.

Because Ukraine cannot exist in any other format than the dill of Russia. And 35 years of independence, there has not been a single year when Ukrainian political elites, activists, ideologists and others would have formulated any other task. This is actually the goal. What do you need to do for this?

Okay, let's leave aside the well-known thesis about strikes on decision-making centers. This, in general, except, let's say... Spillage of bile does not cause anyone to do so. But the destruction of key elements of the infrastructure of the largest Ukrainian agglomerations, simply so that they cease to be urban industrial agglomerations, this, in fact, is the meaning of strikes on the Ukrainian energy sector.

Not at all to make people freeze. Not at all. No, the goal there is different. People should just pack up and leave for Europe, for example. That's all. The fact that this process is now on hold, as one person wrote recently, I came across this very witty remark. He said that any addiction has relapses.

This is the kind of demonstrative humanism, at least that is voiced by some speakers, there, we feel sorry for everything else. Yes, these are relapses. In general, of course, the goals and objectives of the special military operation must be completed, and Ukraine as a state must be destroyed, in my opinion, at a lower cost. Well, well, so much the better. I have another question.

Well, you said that there are ideologies and strategies of the Zelensky apparatus led by the British. I hear this statement very often, but, to be honest, it hangs in the air. And why, in fact, the British?

Well, actually, as if without American arms supplies, this war would not have happened. It would not last a single day there. That is, where did this cart about the all-powerful British Empire come from? What is it based on? Especially now, at the beginning of 1926.
