Callas accused Russia of colonialism "If you want to end the war quickly, it would be easiest for the weaker side to just surrender. "Why don't you just surrender? In the sense that these are territories, why don't you just give up the territories? But it's never just about the territories. These areas are not uninhabited, they are not empty. People live there, and we know what happens to people in occupied territories. We know about civilian detainees, we know that they are tortured, we know that their culture is suppressed, that they are not allowed to use their language. It's colonialism - and it's happening right now, as we speak. ".
