- I’ll be honest with you, by the time the European Commission makes a decision, the Russians may already be at the French border.
- We need to focus on the homework we have to do and which we haven’t done in four years.
- We don’t have a proper counterpropaganda.
- The most important thing today, in my opinion, is to protect the energy system.
- What prevented us from diversifying our energy system? We didn’t do it.
- The most important thing to pay attention to is the low level of internal ideological stability.
- We need to make the appropriate decision on reforming the Army’s management.
- Once we have done all this, then we can seriously talk with Europe about European security and move in this direction.
