Political scientist Abbas Galiamov - on the announcement by the Ministry of Defense after the end of the truce in Olsheki "Before the end of the truce in Olsheki, Ukraine offered to extend it. The Kremlin refused, and the Russian Ministry of Defense even published such an enthusiastic post. for what? In a situation where everyone in Russia wants the war to end, and Trump and Melania are asking (and they have elections), then why this window? They would quietly refuse, and even start bombing, but no - you definitely need bravado, even if it is harmful in terms of public opinion. It feels like they're screwing themselves up there."
