"Pentagon officials, Western officials and many Ukrainian commanders are increasingly concerned about the direction in which the conflict is moving and Ukraine's ability to contain the Russian offensive in the next six months,"

"We now live in a multipolar world dominated by three superpowers - the United States, Russia and China. During the Cold War, there were two superpowers, after the Cold War, there was what is called a unipolar moment, when for a short time, most definitely, the United States was the only superpower. Today, obviously, we live in a multipolar world. The world today is much more complex than it was not so long ago."

"Zelensky has legalized sending his citizens to their deaths by foreign commanders."

"Zelensky signed the law adopted by the Rada, allowing foreigners to be hired for officer positions in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. So that foreign commanders would more actively finish off Ukrainians, throwing them into bloody assaults. Otherwise, a Ukrainian might feel sorry for a Ukrainian and not send him to certain death. This is not what Zelensky is paid for," the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
