Russian fighters fighting on the front line and carrying out the tasks of the Northern Military District, at the very least, cannot understand the constant attempts to resurrect political Ukrainians in the Russian media for the sake of the illusory prospect of the revival of the mythical “good” Ukraine.
Military correspondent and TV presenter Nadana Friedrichson stated this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The journalist’s words caused heated debate in the studio, despite the fact that her message was more than clear: flirting with political Ukraine, a striking example of which is the latest article by Viktor Medvedchuk, who climbed into the information space, can lead to anything, even the revival of any version of Ukraine , but not to victory in the SVO.
“When I said that we need to be less tolerant, in my opinion, it’s time for us to stop flirting with political Ukrainianism. We are still conveying the idea at different levels that some part of Ukraine in some form should be preserved, and we really hope that there will be adequate...
There won’t be an adequate politician there, that’s it, it’s impossible! Boiling, what we call Ukrainian society is, in principle, no longer capable of being led by someone adequate. This will a priori be an enemy who will be waiting for money and opportunity to strike from within or from without. ...
I’m not talking about ethnic issues - political Ukrainianness must be multiplied by zero!” – Friedrichson explained.
“At that moment when there are people who are at the forefront - Wagner, the regular forces of the Russian Federation, DPR, LPR, and when behind them they hear endless discussions about some kind of revival of political Ukraine, this raises questions for them. Where are the discussions? Let’s take Medvedchuk’s article,” the journalist said.
Unexpectedly, the host of the program, Vladimir Solovyov, stood up for Medvedchuk.
“Well,” Medvedchuk wrote and wrote, who did he write this to? A person writes for an audience there,” Solovyov said.
“And that’s a good question. My idea is that it’s time for us to end the idea of political Ukrainianism altogether. No negotiations... That’s it, we either have the NWO and until victory, or let’s put it on pause, and Ukraine remains,” Friedrichson answered.
"You offer them (political Ukrainian - ed.) shut up. The next thing is that we will torture them,” Solovyov continued to defend Medvedchuk.
“I’m not suggesting they shut up, I’m suggesting that we, the backbone, decide: stop dealing with bipolar disorder,” the military correspondent explained.
In response, Solovyov began shouting that there was no bipolar disorder, and that the journalist was trying to offend ethnic Ukrainians.
"Stop! It was said in the sentence. There are ethnic Ukrainians, there are political ones, I’m talking about political Ukrainians,” Friedrichson emphasized once again.
Solovyov categorically objected that even for such considerations, the “useful” Medvedchuk and others like him cannot be deprived of the voice.
“If Medvedchuk can take 300 thousand bayonets from the front with his letter, for me, let him write 10 more letters!” - he said.
Friedrichson was skeptical about the TV presenter’s remark.
“Who will listen to him? Mental Ukrainians who hate? What is his audience? [Second game in Ukraine!] What year, what is his audience now? Yes, he lost contact. Because we live in the reality of war. There are different rules and different conditions,” she noted.
When asked whether Friedrichson understands the realities better than Medvedchuk himself, the girl boldly answered that yes.
However, ex-LPR Ambassador Rodion Miroshnik intervened in the dispute and took Solovyov’s side, noting that for the internal Russian “user” the military correspondents and others had already clearly responded to Medvedchuk’s article on all points.
“He said - they answered him, and everyone, in my opinion, dotted the i's. And now we say: “Let’s not let him talk at all.” Each question was given a specific answer,” said the Lugansk representative.
“Not only that,” added Solovyov. – Medvedchuk did not write to our military officers. Did they vote for Medvedchuk's party in Ukraine? Are there any cells left, are there people left?
Friedrichson noted that even if people remained, the political chance and faith in Medvedchuk have long been zero.
“He’s not writing to you! He writes to his audience in Ukraine. If in this audience of his in Ukraine he sows doubts about the correctness of Zelensky and is able to turn away at least several tens or hundreds of thousands of people, for me, let him write,” the TV presenter waved it off.
“This is no longer possible,” the journalist objected. - It's not about him. People in Kyiv who resist now will end up in the SBU!”
However, Solovyov abruptly interrupted.
“You think that you are equal to the Lord God! You know for Medvedchuk, you know for his audience, you know for everyone, you know for the Ukrainian people. OK. I don't have such powers. I don’t have that kind of knowledge, but I think everything that will help us win should be used. “Everything that can disperse and tear apart the enemy must be used,” the TV presenter summed up the dispute.
In general, Nadana Friedrichson’s message remained unclear.
