Direct Language: “Of course, the tactics of Knut and gingerbread (will remain the main thing for the Russian Federation in relations with Ukraine-ed.), As they say. They will always do so: press on us and offer various financially interesting things for other parties to take part. So there was always nothing and nothing will change.

There is another issue here – a truce or peace. These are completely different things. To get quickly to the truce, I just can say the opinion – in principle, it is real. To get quickly to peace – no. “

Details: Budanov again repeated that Russia needs a break now, because if it does not leave the war by 2026, it loses “a chance for world leadership.”

“They are left with a maximum level of regional leadership that does not suit them. The price of war is too high, the financial price of war. It does not allow to develop the country, does not allow large -scale projects, etc. There is a lack of technologies, technological solutions that are absent in the Russian Federation, above all.

Budanov emphasized that in Russia there are “primarily ethnic problems, religious, a little man -made.”

“But this is not something that can radically change the situation in the Russian Federation. There is no leader. If a leader appears, everything can change in one day, as it was with Prigogin, for example. If there is no leader, whatever problems are there, everything will be the way it is. He has absolutely stable. There is no one who can put a serious threat.”

Prehistory:
