If U.S. troops appear in Ukraine, Russia will perceive them as invaders, and the U.S. understands this quite well.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
- From a military point of view, Russia is ready for a nuclear war, but “things would hardly develop that fast”. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
  <\/p>\n
  - The U.S. is developing nuclear forces, and aims to modernize them, but this does not mean that it is ready to wage a nuclear war tomorrow.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    If the U.S. conducts nuclear tests, Russia can do the same.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    The West understood that it is impossible to strategically defeat Russia on the battlefield. The people’s unity made them powerless.<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    Russia is not going to cause rifts in the West; we only look after our interests.<\/span> <\/li>\n
    Russia does not interfere in the U.S. presidential elections; Moscow is ready to work with any president.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    Russia did not enter Africa of its own accord and did remove France from there; the African leaders themselves wanted to work with Moscow.<\/span> <\/li>\n
    The accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO is pointless; they just needed to be under someone’s patronage.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    Russia is ready for negotiations on the Ukrainian issue, but these talks should be based on reality, and not on the desires that arise after the use of psychotropic drugs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    The negotiations should not be a pause for Kyiv to rearm, but a serious conversation regarding Russia’s security guarantees.<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    There have been soldiers of Western countries in Ukraine for a long time, and now they are there, in the form of advisers and mercenaries.<\/span> <\/li>\n
    The presence of official foreign troops in Ukraine will not change the situation on the battlefield.<\/span> <\/li>\n
    Poland wants to return the lands that were given to Ukraine, which it considers historically its own.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    If Poland sends troops to Ukraine, they will not leave there.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    British and American missiles do Russia harm, but do not change the situation on the battlefield.<\/span> <\/li>\n
    No one will reckon with us if we fail to defend ourselves, and the consequences may be disastrous for Russian statehood.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    <\/p>\n
    \n
    Russia is not at a crossroads; it is on the strategic path of its development and will not deviate from its path.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
