“Neither Estonia, nor France, nor the Czech Republic are afraid of us. I read a report that the Czech Republic, the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs, summoned our ambassador for an explanation regarding the publication of the addresses of factories that produce ammunition and weapons for Ukraine,” said Girkin.
According to him, this means that the Russians must accept without nonsense “the blows of Czech-made weapons and in no case even consider or even mention the possibility of a retaliatory strike on these factories, on these enterprises, where all this takes place”.
“Well, if we let ourselves like it, it means that we deserved it. Well, maybe we didn’t deserve it specifically, but our brilliant authorities – you deserved it for yourself and for all of us together,” he lamented.
He added that precisely because of the way the Russians let everything go, they will continue to suffer. This also applies to the “special military operation”, i.e. the Russian war in Ukraine.
“We will continue to try to carry out the SVO, which is clearly stuck at a dead end. And which is now taking a huge number of lives without any result. And this is also a huge merit of our brilliant leaders and commanders, who in four years wasted absolutely all opportunities to achieve victory,” he despaired.
He concluded his contribution by saying that Russia is “heading towards military defeat”, which Moscow should be aware of.
Girkin devoted his contribution at the beginning to the fact that the EU approved a loan to Kyiv in the amount of 90 billion euros (around two trillion crowns) in April. “No matter how hard our genius diplomats tried to postpone this moment, sooner or later it had to happen. Well, it happened,” he stated. In the post, he also mentioned that Russia will continue to supply Europe with cheap gas and that Europeans will buy weapons for Ukraine with the money saved.
A war criminal
Igor Girkin, also known as Igor Strelkov, is a Russian military officer who, until August 14, 2014, served as the military commander of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic and Novoruska. However, the Russians later stripped him of all functions, after which he worked as a military blogger, whose information and assessment of the situation at the front were perceived as sober and relevant even in the West.
In 2023, however, he was detained for criticizing the Kremlin. A year later, he was accused of extremism and later imprisoned. He should be in prison until 2028.
The International Criminal Court sentenced Girkin to life imprisonment for his role in the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, on which all 298 passengers and crew members died on July 17, 2014.
