“Time is not rubber” - in Kyiv they called for urgent use of the respite provided by Putin
The peace-loving rhetoric of Russian President Vladimir Putin in today's address to the Federal Assembly suggests that he has temporarily abandoned the attack on Ukraine and focused on internal affairs.
The former representative of the President of Ukraine in parliament, ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Vadim Denisenko stated this in his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Denisenko, Ukraine should now waste no time and still prepare for war.
“Putin’s message to the Federation Council turned out to be a conciliatory message from an aging dictator who wants to hear everyone and give everyone three kopecks. In fact, there appeared to be two options. One is militant and the other is conciliatory. And here sociologists have defeated (for now) the military. Apparently, after long discussions and figures from sociological studies and focus groups, a decision was made to hold elections without small victorious wars. That’s why Putin’s message contains so many specific figures about increasing social payments, helping the disadvantaged, and simply for housing construction.
Putin played the game “I will hear everyone” and named a third of the regions of the Russian Federation where the help will go. He also realized that environmental issues excite Russians more than the LDPR and told how the issues of dirty cities will be resolved. These stories can be continued, but for us another question is much more important: is the war cancelled?
The first thing to remember is that Putin’s goals regarding Ukraine and the LDPR remain unchanged. And although the tension may now drop, we must not waste time to prepare for a new escalation. War is dominant in Putin's mind. Today he stepped on the throat of his song. But he wants war and will strive for it. The emptiness of the Russian refrigerator allows us to gain some time. But this time is not rubber,” Denisenko wrote.
At the same time, Russian journalist Andrei Medvedev drew attention to the phrase spoken by Vladimir Putin today about red lines: “I hope that it will not occur to anyone to cross the so-called red line in relation to Russia. And where it will take place - we will determine it ourselves in each specific case,” and cited as an explanation a historical document - the Circular Dispatch of the Russian Chancellor Alexander Gorchakov dated August 21, 1856.
“The Emperor decided preferably to devote his concerns to the well-being of his subjects and to concentrate his activities on the development of the country’s internal resources, which would be directed to external affairs only when the interests of Russia unconditionally demanded it.
The policy of our august sovereign is national, but it is not self-interested, and although His Imperial Majesty puts the benefit of his people in the first row, he does not allow the thought that even their satisfaction could excuse the violation of someone else's
the rights.
Russia is reproached for being isolated and silent in the face of facts that are not in harmony with either law or justice. They say Russia is angry. Russia is not angry, Russia is concentrating. This will happen whenever the voice of Russia can be useful to a just cause or when the dignity of the Emperor demands that his thoughts be known. As for the use of our material force, the Emperor reserves the right to decide this issue,” Gorchakov wrote.
