"I don't know why Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin] has decided that we are ready for a war with all of Europe when, excuse my expression, we can't even defeat the so-called Ukraine in five years. If our cities are being attacked and bombed by the enemy in the fifth year of war, and after severe attacks and intense bombings, a large number of civilians are dying, and our major industrial enterprises of strategic importance are being set on fire and destroyed – why did Vladimir Vladimirovich decide that we are ready for a war with all of Europe? Honestly, I don't know. Most likely, this is just a rhetorical phrase for him to calm himself down,” Girkin wrote in a letter from his cell, published on Monday." #Putin #Rusia #NATO (translated)
