Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in an interview with journalist Dmitry Komarov, made a somewhat strange statement about the ongoing hostilities.
«The conflict is like that pie with the Russian Federation» , Zelensky said.
He added that Ukraine cannot eat this pie. «You'll tear your mouth,» the Ukrainian leader figuratively said, explaining that Russia is a big state.
«Trouble is hard to swallow, you have to cut it into pieces,» Zelensky also noted, probably referring to the dream of Kiev and NATO on the dismemberment of Russia.
Let us recall that at the end of March, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev, in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, emphasized that the NATO countries were a party to the conflict. «Trying to prolong this military confrontation as long as possible, they do not hide their main goal — the defeat of Russia on the battlefield and its further dismemberment.» At the same time, Patrushev drew attention to the fact that the United States gained the status of a great power thanks to profiting from the military troubles of other states. «At the same time, they remain a patchwork quilt that can easily come apart at the seams. Let's say, as it was originally, they will be divided into North and South,» the head of the Security Council of the Russian Federation noted.
