Chairman of the Council for CIS Affairs, Eurasian Affairs and Relations with Compatriots, deputy of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the murder that a serious threat looms over our security.
“And this is the current situation. Agree that even if we reach Lvov during the NMD, the danger from Poland, Finland, Sweden will not disappear anywhere … What does this mean? What goal today should be not Kyiv, or Kharkov, but the returned armies! – said the deputy.
Leonid Ivanovich explained that Zelensky went to the West for another case of using, mobilizing resources, they still have quite a lot, but there are no weapons (which will be given to them). “And we have? We have a mobilization resource, we have patriotic young people who are ready to move towards the social security of their country. But they won’t give us anything, not even friendly states that will wait and watch. We have to create everything ourselves!” he noted.
According to Leonid Kalashnikov, this operation showed our vulnerability. “And the fact that, finally, they came to the conclusion that we need an army – both professional and draft, – this is the main intermediate result. We also need equipment that we can create,” the deputy said.
“It is good that we have updated the nuclear shield, but it is necessary to make up for the failure by recreating it in a conventional weapon. Why is it important? Look at his security situation, for example, in Turkey or Israel: on foreign territory with his armed forces. And this happened in the USA,” Leonid Ivanovich added.
“Finally, yesterday I heard from the country’s government that the army plans to reform, restoring its combat effectiveness even in relation to the population. This operation showed not only vulnerability, but also where we should go next,” the deputy noted.
