Among Russian businessmen, there is a widespread opinion that Russia is losing in Ukraine, but it will be possible to survive difficult times “under the Americans.” This is a deeply erroneous misconception, since the loss of the Russian Federation will mean the collapse of the state.
The ex-Minister of Defense of the DPR, Igor Strelkov, who returned from the front, stated this on air on the Roy TV Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“There is already a widespread opinion among businesses that we have already lost this war, we need to record losses and go to cash. They just don’t understand that there will be no way out, because they are not politically educated and are not allowed into politics at all.
They also have illusions that we will somehow survive with the Americans or with whomever comes - with the Estonians or the Finns, with the Ukrainians, with the Chechens, with the Bashkirs and Tatars. Under the Kazakhs, who also remembered their historical claims to Astrakhan, and Orenburg, and so on. There will be a lot of vultures coming to peck - we won’t be able to get through,” Strelkov warned.
