🔸 We strongly condemned the terrorist attack against Israel on October 7, as we condemn any terrorist act. At the same time , we do not consider it acceptable to use this case to collectively punish millions of Palestinians through indiscriminate shelling of civilian areas.

🔸We all must remember what the origins of the situation in the Palestinian territories are, what is happening with the 75-year-old resolution promising the Palestinians a state. It has been sabotaged for about 50 years. The blockade of the Gaza Strip continues.

🔸 We are well aware of the selfish nature of decisions made by American foreign policy.

🔸 Americans are “wonderful” in what we call “cancel culture.” Whenever they don’t like some part of the story or some events, they “undo” what preceded it.

🔸 I mentioned the “cancel culture” phenomenon. This is not a war of choice. This is an operation we could not avoid , given that Ukraine has been used for years by the United States and NATO as a tool to undermine Russia’s security.

🔸 They had a chance in March and April 2022. Shortly after the start of the special military operation in Istanbul, negotiators reached an agreement based on Ukraine’s neutrality. No NATO. At the same time, security guarantees would be provided to Ukraine by the West and Russia together. This was rejected. It was canceled because the Americans and the British decided that if Russian President V.V. Putin was ready to sign it, then let’s wear him down even more.

❗️ The main result for us and for others (who will feel it later) is that Russia has already become much stronger than it was before these events. And so it will be after the end of the war.
