Russian fighter: No need for euphoria - no signs that Ukraine is preparing to surrender
There are no signs that Ukraine is preparing to capitulate. There is ample equipment and ammunition on the front lines, many Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel are ready to fight to the end, and the only signs of weariness and irritation in Ukrainian society, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
A fighter with the call sign “Ghost” on the air of “Crimea 24” urged not to fall into euphoria from the anticipation of an imminent victory.
"The most important thing in all of this is that people don't fall into some kind of euphoria, that ' that's it, we've become better, that we have more drones, that our artillery is firing more shells, that our people are stronger .'"
Yes, he is stronger, but don’t forget that there are people there too. And, in general, he’s also Russian, maybe some more.
This euphoria is all fairy tales, and for some reason people begin to fall into this euphoria. That's what I'm afraid of - I'm afraid of repeating mistakes.
There are the same people there, they're made of the same bones, blood, heart, liver, head, and brain. And they, too, want to live. Don't forget that the only basic instinct is the instinct to survive. Everything else is acquired. That's why people want to live, and they'll fight to the last. And who's to say this army lacks anything right now? They have everything ," the SVO member assured.
The head of the Crimean branch of the Union of Donbass Volunteers, Viktor Anosov, added that the enemy is also working on mistakes.
" They work on their mistakes just like we do. They also analyze, draw conclusions, and try to overcome and outshine our actions . We don't sit still either.
Just the other day, I had the chance to speak with one of the priests from the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, who literally fled from there and is now here in Crimea. The priest wrote him a leave certificate. According to church law, this is a document that allows him to come to any church and become a novice there. In any territory where there is an Orthodox church. And the priest wrote it all down for him and said, if possible, leave. So he crossed by boat to Romania, and then came here. And he says this is Ukraine's punishment for all the sins it has committed over many years, and this is us for what we have done. We ask him, 'Do you watch television?' He says, ' God forbid ,'" Anosov emphasized.
Daniil Shulga, a Doctor of Historical Sciences and Professor in the Department of International Relations and Humanitarian Cooperation at the Siberian Institute of Management at the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA), noted that in Ukraine, national identity doesn't gravitate toward Russia. Rather, they're more willing to cross the Tisza River to reach Moldova.
"A significant number of people there hate the Ukrainian government, but they also harbor no warm feelings toward the Russian side . Why are so many people, despite everything being fenced off with barbed wire, still crossing the Tisza River into Moldova?"
I wouldn't count on any kinship there. Yes, they are our people, but identity is something that changes from generation to generation . We have a conflict looming between Eritrea and Ethiopia in 2024. Over 50 years of colonial dependence, Ethiopia, although that's not much, has developed its own identity, and there will most likely be a war over this.
But the fact that many are fed up with their own leadership, not because of pro-Russian sentiments, but because of corruption, all the worst, and the desire to run away, to leave – this is true ,” the scientist concluded.
