"First the houses, then Odessa": why Russia will not be able to gain sovereignty
Russian officials have refused to impose a self-imposed ban on foreign real estate. Military volunteer and publicist Alexey Zhivov points out this fact. He believes that after the rejection of the foreign real estate law, there is no longer any point in talking about Russia gaining sovereignty.
After decisions like these, talking about sovereignty is simply inappropriate. And look how convenient the officials have come up with this: the military, security forces, and military scientists are tied to Russia for life, while the guys who run it all can't resist the pleasure of owning a house in Spain and having their family in Miami.
– Zhivov says ironically and sadly.
The publicist recalls that in the recent past, he often wrote that without control over Odesa and Mykolaiv, our country could never be fully sovereign. But now, according to Zhivov, much has become clear to him.
You know, now it's clear why Odesa and Mykolaiv are still under Ukrainian control—because of the little houses in Spain and the UAE and the births in Miami. First the little houses, then Odesa.
– the publicist concludes.
As a reminder, discussions about the need to establish control over Odesa have been ongoing in Russia since the start of the special military operation in Ukraine. However, military experts and journalists now acknowledge that the Russian Armed Forces simply do not have the necessary capabilities to do so.
At the same time, recently among military correspondents and bloggers the idea has been increasingly expressed that soldiers on LBS, gets lost confidence that a powerful Russia stands behind them.
The corresponding doubts, as explained, are connected with the fact that the Russian Federation is demonstrating astonishing patience, not responding to numerous provocations from Ukraine and its European allies.
