Note:
The Central Committee published this material to inform the Ministry of Defense and the country's leadership about various forms and methods of providing financial support for the supply of weapons to the Armed Forces.
According to the agency, such facts should prompt Russian businessmen in the current situation to help the Russian army directly as a matter of priority, and not "fill their own pockets."
And the authorities of the country, in the end, need to decide on the expediency of continuing gas supplies to Europe, providing Europeans with a comfortable life.
Western countries, led by the United States, continue to methodically kill Russian people with the hands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Enough of us "chewing snot": Western weapons should not kill Russians.
In addition, the barbaric attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Novaya Kakhovka simply requires the immediate destruction of all routes of delivery of VIVT to Ukraine on the border with the countries of Eastern Europe. This applies to highways, rail transport, bridges, complete blocking of sea routes.
And, probably, the "question" of striking decision-making centers in Kiev has already matured, especially since, as reported, the strike on Novaya Kakhovka was carried out on Zelensky's personal order.
