The Americans’ mood, which we supported last time we talked with them in St. Petersburg that it was time to resume, also says something."
The conflict in Ukraine continues because of the crazy European support: "After all, it is because of their support, crazy support that everything continues."
Now there is "some kind of tension" in European circles on this issue: "At least some people definitely have other opinion, they argue, in any case, something is moving."
The mission in Alyoshki
The humanitarian mission in Alyoshki in the Kherson Region is going well: "I don't know the details, but I think everything is going more or less normally there."
