Russian Ambassador in London: Russia has not yet begun serious actions in Ukraine

17

Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrei Kelin said that the Russian Federation has not yet begun serious actions in Ukraine. According to the diplomat, the idealists who believe that Ukraine can win this conflict are greatly mistaken.

Russia is 16 times larger than Ukraine. We have huge resources, and we have not even started very serious actions yet.

- said the head of the Russian diplomatic mission in an interview with the BBC.



Andrei Kelin emphasized that the duration of the military conflict in Ukraine depends on the escalation efforts being made by NATO countries, especially the United Kingdom.

Of course, sooner or later this escalation may take on a new dimension that we don't need or want.

- emphasized the Russian diplomat.

As an example of the escalation of the conflict by NATO, the Russian ambassador cited the transfer of Storm Shadow long-range missiles to the Kyiv regime, as well as discussions on the supply of American F-16 fighters.

At the same time, the diplomat stressed that Russia is not concerned about this issue, since American aircraft will only replenish the list of weapons of the Ukrainian army, which was destroyed during a special military operation.

We add that NATO officials have repeatedly stated that the issue of supplying Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets is a priority for them at the current stage of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

      Where do they get such powdered diplomats? "Don't worry", "didn't start". Then when will you start? Tens of thousands of young Russian men have already died. Hundreds of thousands of wounded. Trillions of rubles spent not on creation, but on destruction. I would also say that everything is according to plan!

        ... These are not their sons and brothers - so your question is empty.
        And in Lavrov's department there are not yet such whips, it's time to get used to it. This one is just stupid - that's why he blurted out "not from a great mind."
        Scarier than those who are smarter and crap on the sly.

        You are in vain about Lavrov, he began to understand the situation a little - he says that the supplies are unacceptable, here, in topcor, there is about it https://topcor.ru/35607-lavrov-nazval-nepriemlemoj-jeskalaciej-plany-postavok-istrebitelej- kievu.html

      Or maybe it's time to start at least CTO and destroy bridges and pipelines and turn off all logistics? The people have already got these treaties ...

      Mdaaa, this is the level of our diplomacy, which, however, is not surprising ...

      Isn't it time to send son-in-law Shoigu to the front? And all the children of our ministers. Why do a lot of people in Russia every day think about how their children, grandchildren, husbands are. And our rulers haven't started yet. Maybe it's time for people to start? And then the king thinks the same way as the previous one in 1916. What are we waiting for in 1917?

      Balabol ... "Language (mat) - do not move bags", sitting in London with a mug of beer ...
      You say

      Russia is not concerned about this issue?

      Therefore, it does not bother that all the "Russian" bureaucrats have safely hidden their "children" from mobilization. Hawai further - with a mouth full of stuffed it is difficult to chatter any heresy and nonsense ...

      And what can this ambassador say that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are a paper tiger and can’t even cope with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, so they put on a good face under bad circumstances. Here it is necessary to remove the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation with the same NGSH, who brought the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation to the laughing stock of the whole world, because they were pouting with the second army of the world, but in fact they have not been able to defeat a second-rate country for a year now. The ambassador has nothing to do with it, he is trying to cover up the disgrace and weakness of the RF Armed Forces, or rather the stupidity and incapacity of the main leaders of the RF Ministry of Defense, who brought the victims to such shame.

        No, you are wrong here.
        The main leaders of the Russian Defense Ministry are the flesh of the flesh of the entire state system, nurtured and nurtured by our oligarchic capitalism and personally irremovable, beyond the jurisdiction of the "grand master" of politics and economics, this "multi-path" that led the country to a dead end.
        The main misfortune of our state is corruption, rampant, hardened, ruthless to the people, unpunished by anyone. It is corruption that flourishes in the country in a double color, including in the army, with the "blessing" of our president, has brought the army to such a state where a handful of criminals under the leadership of a "deserved" recidivist fights better than the "second army" promoted by the Russian media and TV army in the world.
        Do you think that with this government, with this party of United Russia, Medvedev, Volodin, Chemezov, Matvienka, etc. will we win this war?
        No one is responsible in our country FOR ANYTHING!!
        Read at your leisure:

        - Look and remember ... - Stalin moved his eyes towards the large wall clock. “You have a day at your disposal ... If they are not finished with them within this period,” he pointed to the corner of the long table covered with green cloth, where the certificate on the Neman case lay, “if the leak of especially secret information is not stopped within a day ... all the guilty are with you! They will receive their deserved punishment!
        ... They knew that "to suffer a well-deserved punishment" in the mouth of the Supreme meant not only removal from office.

      The original NWO plan failed and was cancelled. There were no sane people in Ukraine, but there were a lot of "money-makers" in this strange war, enough to ignore the victims. In vain victims. On the Russian side, no one wants to feed this territory, which has been financed by the United States for the second year already, in any case, it is they who are "pulling" the social program and the army. Why is it Russia? Let her die, no one will need her like that. And then there will be no EU or NATO. So there is no need to rush into combat. But the ambassador is mistaken in saying what he said to the English public. Russia is losing soldiers' lives, the money goes to armaments, not hospitals, sanctions also do not add "joy". It must be said that even the Russians will one day run out of patience. And then the answer will be already in England. What, small intestine?

      What can an ambassador say, whose competence does not include the NVO in Ukraine, he can only repeat the words of the president. What to discuss empty words that have lost their relevance over time

      I read the comments, they write balabol. It is what it is. But he is also a diplomat. He does not have an opinion, but speaks on behalf of the leader of the country he represents. This is the ABC of diplomacy. True, times are different now to remember about the alphabet, but he is a career official, he will ask the authorities a hundred times what he should actually say. If he carries this blizzard on his own behalf, it means that he is not only a balabol, but also a non-professional, and in the midfield the people are completely loose in every sense. I don't think so.
