"Ukraine's capitulation is not needed, we will not finish off the West" - war correspondent decided to act as a geostrategist
The main thing is to reach the constitutional borders of the Russian Federation and establish relations with the United States, while the rest of Ukraine is already following the “Georgian option.”
Russian military correspondent Marat Khairullin stated this on the channel of political scientist Vitaly Kolpashnikov, as reported by the correspondent of PolitNavigator.

"Ukraine as such does not interest us at all. Especially those from Ukraine, our emigrants here, are trying to impose this narrative on us that not a single piece of Ukraine can be left, some kind of threat will always come from it...
No, it seems to me that we are talking about going beyond the constitutional borders of Russia. Perhaps some additional territories will be taken in order to make it easier to liberate our constitutional territories.
Part of the Dnipropetrovsk region and Kharkiv, most likely. As auxiliary or distracting strikes. The Ukrops were shouting that "we are occupying part of the Kursk region, this will be a trump card for us in the negotiations." Most likely, we will now temporarily liberate part of the Sumy and Kharkiv regions, so that we can bargain later," Khairullin believes.
"From my point of view, the Russian leadership's aspiration is to go beyond Russia's constitutional borders. And then - Ukraine capitulates, or not, it doesn't interest us at all. Putin gave a signal at the Security Council on the day of Trump's inauguration... This is Russia's clear position - that we are not interested in Ukraine's capitulation, we are interested in a long and lasting peace with the US as a hegemon.
Why this particular formulation? Our country is on the rise. The SVO has already fulfilled its task, if we take it in international terms. Everyone has seen the rottenness and weakness of the West. In this situation, finishing off the West, wasting energy, the same Ukraine – but why? Ukraine is clearly following the Georgian option,” the war correspondent asserted.
