"... I think that Army General Surovikin is now quite critically influencing whether there is energy in Ukraine, how much of it there is, and I think what will happen next, and I hope that in the future, he will also very scrupulously influence how much of it will remain there, depending on how the former Ukraine will behave. Having said all this, I emphasize once again, as I have always emphasized, No schadenfreude about the work that is being done forcedly and without any joy to destroy the double critical infrastructure of Ukraine, without which, I hope, the terrorist unit of this gang, which is called the Armed Forces of Ukraine, will not be able to function, so to speak. ..."
