TRV No. 17 (211) for 2016: “I am a citizen of Europe”
“I have told local politicians many times that if Western society were smarter, there would have been a period of window opportunity - ABOUT 1-2 MONTHS, WHEN EUROPE COULD PRESSURE NOT ONLY ON RUSSIA (AS THEY PRESSURED), BUT ALSO ON UKRAINE. THERE WOULD NOT BE A WAR. BOTH TERRITORIES - CRIMEA AND DONBASS - WERE FEDERAL REPUBLICS WITHIN UKRAINE, IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR EVERYONE. BUT NO, WE ONLY NEEDED TO SUPPORT UKRAINE!”
Are these really his words? If so, then I can note the complete correspondence of their content with the official Russian position and interpretation of the events of 2014. Without any evaluation.
