looked like a frightened schoolboy – did not know what to say, muttered, his knees trembled. According to Valetov, a certain comedy appeared in this figure, despite his position and the horror that he should inspire others.
Now Patrushev looks like “the second army of the world “when she ran away from Kyiv with stolen property,” the writer noted.
As Valetov noted, Russian politicians make threats so easily, because they understand that the West will never strike first. At the same time, if they had even the slightest doubt about it, they would not have behaved this way.

“Today they (Russian troops – ed.) give us they hit the bridge, which is on the Dniester estuary, obviously with the desire to stop our ability to transfer troops there. So, what should we assume?

It can be quite fun here,” Arestovich said.
“Well, we also need to understand that Moldova is the closest neighbor, whose fate we are far from indifferent to. We have always stood with the Moldovan people, we stand and we will stand. Therefore, they can turn to us for help,” added the adviser to the head of the presidential office.
“We can handle it,” he also answered the question of how much forces Ukraine would need to capture Tiraspol.
