- The full text of the statement
No, it's such a thing. I think the truth always lies in the middle. As for any public statements by Westerners, of course, these public statements are politically biased. As for the public statements of the Ukrainian authorities, the same is true, yes, they are in a situation of propaganda war. As for the statements made by our officials, of course, they are also aligned with the tasks and plans that they have in their heads, so there is also an obvious correction for the wind. And that's probably how it should be. The truth lies in the middle. In fact, I heard that we had run out of missiles back in March and April, but that's it, they are no longer there. But, first of all, we have production facilities, we do not buy them, yes, we need to understand a simple thing. If we bought them and received them from abroad, as unfortunately many of the things that are critically important to us, we would get hooked on these supplies, so to speak, then it would be one thing. It's a different matter when we produce them ourselves.
Therefore, I think that, of course, they are being spent, of course, there are fewer of them, but we have production capacity. I hope that they are working and producing some of this ammunition. So I think that, on the one hand, it's clear that the more we spend it, the less we have. On the other hand, we still have the ability to produce them. I can't tell you in any proportion. I just don't know. I hope that we have a high enough capacity to produce them. But, once again, this is what is important. There is also bomber aviation, which was practically not used. On the one hand, apparently because of vulnerability to air defence, on the other hand, apparently because of the fact that, of course, bomber aircraft will work in areas, which means a much more serious number of civilian casualties, possibly. But, in principle, if it is necessary, we will have to turn to it.
We will have to address this, for example, at least in the situation with industrial zones, industrial zones, bridges, as it were, yes, then power plants and so on, and where it is possible, therefore, not to affect residential areas and all that kind of stuff. Here. At least, I think that it will be impossible not to consider it. Therefore, as far as British intelligence is concerned, it is clear that it will say what it needs, and we can only refute this with actions. To put it bluntly, if this continues, strikes on critical infrastructure, it means that the British intelligence officer is lying, or telling half-truths. If it doesn't continue, then it's one of two things. Or maybe it's really over, and we have to wait for a new one to be produced. Or maybe there are some incomprehensible games going on, maybe both. Well, let's see, yes, see how it develops. To reiterate,
I do not pretend to know everything there, unlike many other people who run all sorts of channels and so on. In general, by and large, they don't know anything, but many of them have to pretend that they know something all the time. I don't know, I can say, so to speak, as I think it should be. What can be said for sure is that yes, in Belarus, apparently, and it seems to me that this is just a move that breaks the logic of the actions of our adversaries a little, a little, in Belarus, we are returning to the fact that, in general, a threat is being created for Kiev and Western Ukraine from the north. I spoke about this yesterday, and I will repeat that this is an important factor. As we have heard from Alexander Lukashenko, he directly said that if at least something is produced against Belarus, then everything that Belarus has will be brought down on Ukraine.
And I can say that the Polonaise missiles, which we have, and these are Chinese A-200 missiles, in my opinion, yes, which the Belarusians have, they are quite capable of reaching Kyiv. They're quite affordable. This is the creation, or rather, the return to the creation of a threat to Ukraine from this direction. Will Ukraine be able to withstand this? I don't know. The question is whether we will be able to implement these things. A grouping of Russian troops will appear there. I don't know exactly what it will do, what it will do, because there is a wide range of rumours here, from the fact that we will deploy nuclear weapons there to the fact that in fact all this talk about nuclear weapons is nothing more than a cover. Nevertheless, this situation is becoming more relevant because, as far as can be understood, there was indeed some euphoria in the Ukrainian leadership after this terrorist attack on the Crimean bridge. Suddenly, it seemed to them that they could do anything. In fact, this is exactly the effect of the PR factor, because the collapse of the spans of the Crimean Bridge is undoubtedly a failure of those who are responsible for security on our part. But, on the other hand, it is impossible to say that this is of decisive military importance. Must not. But this is so inflated in the information space, and this component of show business is so important in the brains of modern politicians and even military leaders, that it really seemed to them that they were holding a powerful victory, and now there will be a turning point in their favor. And they say that against this background, this is what the Belarusian side is saying, against this background, plans to strike at Belarus have indeed appeared. Apparently, it means that those who really manage this whole situation have decided that, in general, there is a good opportunity to take and weaken Russia in the Belarusian direction.
That is, to tear Belarus out of this union state, to organize some kind of insurgent army there or something like that. By the way, we discussed these scenarios a long time ago, back in 2020. I said that I am absolutely sure that the rejection of at least Western Belarus is quite part of the plans of the Poles. Americans and those behind them. They began to think that they could do it now.
To which Lukashenka answers quite unequivocally. And I think that if they don't understand what is going on in Kyiv, the opening of a second front, at least in terms of long-range strikes, is quite likely. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine reports that they are urgently building a fortification along the border with Belarus. In fact, reinforcement may not be necessary. In principle, Kyiv and many other cities of Ukraine are located at such a small distance from the Belarusian border, then, in general, they can be shelled without even crossing the border. By the way, this applies, for example, to Kharkov and many other cities. I believe that the fact that we are not doing this, yes, is wrong, it is a mistake. This is a mistake. There are quite a lot of infrastructure facilities that can be destroyed without crossing the border at all, and there is no need to send anyone. This is the first point. Second. As our Belarusian colleagues say, it means that in addition to the fact that there is euphoria in this, there are outright fanatics, such as Budanov, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, who, therefore, all such terrorist attacks cause incredible euphoria, mukashi, with the help of terrorist attacks, it is possible to defeat Russia, Belarus and all the others, not in this sense, of course. Because I have never heard, for example, about a successful sabotage in the Ukrainian rear. Why is this not being done? Who do we want to surprise there, so to speak? I don't understand.
