"It's time to take hostages so the Americans don't violate the agreements anymore" – war correspondent Sladkov
There are no prerequisites for the imminent end of the SVO, and the diplomatic pitfall in which the champions of the “spirit of Anchorage” have found themselves is the clearest evidence of this.
This was stated in a video blog by Russian military correspondent and now volunteer of the Nevsky Brigade of the Russian Ministry of Defense's Palace of Culture, Alexander Sladkov , as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"I don't see any signs of the imminent end of the Central Military District. Perhaps this is just the assumption of a seasoned reporter; we feel a lot in our bones, collecting data in our brains... I don't see any options for ending the war yet. Those at the top were hoping for Anchorage, but now the Americans themselves are saying , 'Well, what? We didn't agree.'
Lavrov explained how everything unfolded in Anchorage so brilliantly : we received proposals, we reviewed them , met, and agreed to them at the meeting—are these agreements or not? And it turns out we're being manipulated again ," the war correspondent concluded.
" I think it's time to take hostages. Hostages are like hostages . Two men or two politicians argue, agree on something important, and the one suspected of being a bit of a jerk gives them hostages. That is, they hand over their closest children to yesterday's enemy, to whom they gave their word, and if they break that word, that hostage is killed ," Sladkov suggested.
