He told about it in an interview with Report. “We would like to close this topic, not only a referendum, but also in general the issue of occupation by the Russian Federation and the complete liberation of our territories. But reality is more cruel, and it is life.

It should be understood that I would like to point out that there are large reserves of living power in Russia, and mobilization has now been announced. Russia will not spare people who will "spend" this war, "Podolyak said.

The video of the day he noted that after the successful counter-offensive of the Armed Forces in the Kharkiv direction, the political elite of Russia began to understand that it could lose the war, and the countries of the world were convinced of the weakness of the army and the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation. “In Russia, there are no talented commanders, strategists and tactical commanders today.

I would say that Russia was not completely ready for this war, ”Podolyak added.

It is a living power, equipment and ammunition. “Unfortunately, we have to release our territories at the cost of our people's lives, and this is not a short -term process. Of course, we would like to say that the territories of Ukraine will be released by winter, until the New Year.
