“… First – to cause a blackout. What is the electricity? And this is not a major issue, believe me. There is no need to attack power stations, just distribution networks should be attacked, and they will fail at once. They can’t be restored in a while and can’t be restored quickly. In winter this means the immediate failure of heating, this means no water, this means no sewage. Could you imagine Kiev living without sewage for two weeks….?”

And precision-guided munition, and it is used already, in principle. But, let be frank, still rather limited use. But if today our overseas, so called, comrades try to bring us something else, then the recipe is simple. First – to cause a blackout. What is the electricity? And this is not a major issue, believe me. There is no need to attack power stations, just distribution networks should be attacked, and they will fail at once. They can’t be restored in a while and can’t be restored quickly. In winter this means the immediate failure of heating, this means no water, this means no sewage. Could you imagine Kiev living without sewage for two weeks?! Well, approximately. And then it will roll on and on. And when they say, well, these are civilians. What are they like in Donetsk? They are not civilians? Yakov Fedorovich probably won’t let me lie, in the Middle East, when we talk, I know a little there, well, I was there, a little, just a little. They have a clear concept. The son of a terrorist is a terrorist. Is there such a thing? Yes. Yes. And no one makes any difference in this matter there. And if the situation comes to the boil, we have no choice. Russia must live, and the tasks set by the president must be achieved.
