| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Vesti] Aleksey Arestovich , adviser to the head of the President's Office, believes that all Putin's latest assurances are part of psychological pressure to enter Minsk-3. The situation on the fronts is not one in which the Russian leader can dictate any ultimatums, he notes. " If you can make us a mess, why negotiate with us?" - figuratively explained the adviser. Arestovich recalled that in 2014 the Russian Federation brilliantly carried out an information-psychological operation, fixing successfully for itself everything that it could demand by political means, just at the moment when the possibilities for a further offensive were exhausted. This is how "Minsk-1" appeared, and the Kremlin is now striving for the same development of events. " If they could advance further, they would have captured more ... That's where they were stopped, they signed. History is repeating itself now, like a carbon copy. They understand that they have reached a plateau, they may have tactical successes, but the strategic perspective ," the source said. Moreover, as Western weapons arrive in Ukraine, the situation will turn not in their favor, Arestovich specifies. He also expressed the opinion that now the media activity of the Russian Minister of War Shoigu and other statements indicate that the war in Ukraine is "slipping" for the Russian leadership, but no one knows the reaction of Russian society to the defeat of the Russian Federation. At the same time, Arestovich emphasized that he separates the leadership and people of the Russian Federation. Again, rather figuratively, the adviser claims that "we have a plan, we are following the plan," and the leadership of the Russian Federation "we will throw off together, and we will agree with the peoples of the Russian Federation." |
