Journalist Yevgeny Kiselyov has been living and working in Ukraine for about 15 years. Since the annexation of Maidan and Crimea, he has decided to never set foot in Russia again, but he is following what is happening there, reports the LTV program “Panorama”.
“Putin entered Ukraine, hoping that his name would be inscribed in the history of Russia as the unifier of the Slavic lands. Let’s say it all the time. century.
But, in my opinion, Vladimir Vladimirovich was very disappointed as a result, he has only one way – to get into the history books as a man who started an unforgivable, aggressive, criminal war against Ukraine.
“The war that has taken place against the internationally accepted rules of warfare, which includes numerous crimes against humanity and war crimes for which, if not himself, a circle close to him – high-ranking Russian military or ordinary soldiers – will be brought to justice,” Kiselyov said. .
He believes that Putin has begun to believe in his own propaganda.
“It seems to me that this propaganda has played the worst joke with Vladimir Putin. Because he believed that Ukraine is not. That Ukraine is not a real country. That the Ukrainian people are not at all. “The Ukrainians are in fact pro-Russian. The Russian liberating soldiers will come soon with flowers and a loaf of bread. He believed that the Ukrainian army had no, so to speak, combat capabilities.” But now we realize that the Russian soldiers killed on the outskirts of Kiev had parade uniforms in their backpacks, and they were preparing for a parade, apparently on the main street in Kreschatika.
The war was scheduled for three days. People who planned it thought there would be little blood and it would be an easy walk. That on the third day, figuratively speaking, the delegation will take them out and hand them the keys to Kiev. But in fact it happened completely differently.
“They immediately faced fierce resistance from the Ukrainian army, which, by the way, has been training for many years in the east of Ukraine against the militarized formations of the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk republics, which were in fact professional soldiers of the Russian army,” Kiselyov said.
When it became clear that Plan A had failed, Russia switched to Plan B, which struck various settlements, including large cities.
“The plan was to show cruelty, bombardment with rockets, artillery bombings, airstrikes through the homes of peaceful people to create fears of breaking the spirit of resistance of the Ukrainian people.
It seems to me that they are coming up with some new things all the time. Now, for example, they will start saying that Ukrainian nationalists are preparing terrorist acts and about to blow up the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and talk about that has already begun. In fact, gentlemen, note that if there are any sudden acts of terrorism at Ukraine’s nuclear facilities or at other facilities in the temporarily occupied territories of the fascist army, it is a provocation. “This is another search for Plan B with the aim of resuming hostilities on an even larger scale,” the journalist said.
Kiselyev does not consider himself a great optimist, but thinks that many people are not yet fully aware of the speed with which the regime can disintegrate. Every day can bring new unpleasant surprises to Putin, as it did with the display of an anti-war poster on Russia’s main news program. And figuratively speaking, the population’s disobedience is compared to grenades, each of which is crumbling Putin’s system.
