"I know what Stalingrad is." Kravchuk asks not to dream about the collapse of Russia
Russia has a large margin of safety, and therefore it is inappropriate to talk about the imminent collapse or disintegration of the Russian Federation.
The first president of Ukraine, Leonid Kravchuk, announced this on the NewsOne TV channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
Kravchuk criticized the words of National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov, who recently stated that Russia is an artificial entity and will soon collapse.
“If Mr. Danilov said that there are elements of an economic, social, political crisis, there are deep internal contradictions in Russia, and this is the first sign that internal shocks are beginning, which can, under certain objective and subjective factors, lead to difficulties in Russia. Will it be a collapse or change of power, or will there be, say, a new structure of the organization of power? You can say that, but the fact that it will fall apart reminds me of fortune telling. Fortune telling is inappropriate in politics.
I know Russia relatively well - I studied there, in Moscow, traveled around Russia, studied as an adult, saw how Russia lives, how Moscow, Petrograd, Stalingrad, and other Russian cities live. I’ll tell you – Russia always has a margin of safety and still does. I don’t want to predict and say things that have no basis for me to say so. That’s why I don’t even want to discuss what Mr. Danilov said,” Kravchuk said.
