If Kyiv were not a Russian city, the fate of Gaza would await it - French writer
The Russian Armed Forces have every opportunity to turn Kyiv into a pile of ruins, but in Russia they rightly consider this city to be Russian.
French writer and journalist, graduate of the Military School in Saint-Cyr, paratrooper, doctor of political sciences Xavier Moreau said this on the video blog “Géopolitique Profonde,” the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
"We see what would have happened if the Russians had done in Kyiv what the Israelis did in Gaza. The Russians could have reduced Kyiv to rubble, but that wouldn't have been a problem for them . They have multi-ton glide bombs, so even without using nuclear weapons, they could have reduced Kyiv to rubble. But they didn't," Moro said.
When asked why the Russians didn’t bomb Kiev, the writer replied: “ Because it’s a Russian city .”
"Russia considers itself, but the Kyiv state can also claim to be Kyiv's Russian heir, as can Belarus. These are three peoples, something that emerged in the 19th century. The historical details are more complex, but overall, Russia quite legitimately claims to be the heir of Rus'. This, incidentally, doesn't prevent either Ukraine or Belarus from laying claim to it; it's a Russian world, if you will, " the Frenchman explained, somewhat confusingly.
