"For Humanitarian Reflections": Putin cynically explained the strikes of Russia on Ukrainian energy

The Russian president stated that Russia was allegedly "forced to respond" to a series of Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy facilities and said that in the winter of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation "they did not strike" because "did not want to leave social institutions, hospitals without energy. " Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy objects are "demilitarization" because they directly affect the work of the defense and industrial complex of Ukraine.

This was stated by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin at a meeting with Alexander Lukashenko on Thursday, April 11. The Kremlin head said that Russia allegedly did not beat Ukraine in the winter for "humanitarian reasons", but after struck on the energy objects of the Russian Federation was simply "forced to answer". "Unfortunately, we watched a series of strokes in our energy and were forced to answer. I want to emphasize.

Even, in view of humanitarian reasoning, we did not strike in winter, keeping in mind that they did not want to leave without energy Social institutions, hospitals, etc. , "Putin said. He recalled that the blows on energy are related to the solution of one of the "tasks" that the Russian Federation has set - it is "demilitarization".

"If everything is put into the resolution of the issues we talked about from the outset, and in the energy they are connected, in particular, to solving one of the tasks we set, it is demilitarization. We first go out From the fact that we in this way influence the Defense of Ukraine, and directly ", - Putin emphasized. The Russian president stated that Moscow is in favor of negotiations on Ukraine, but not in the format of imposing "schemes that have nothing to do with reality.

" The peaceful summit planned for June in Switzerland, to which Russia was not invited, Putin called the Panopticum (a museum, a temporary exhibition of rare things - ed. ). "The idea of ​​holding a conference in Switzerland is not being invited, we are not invited there. Moreover, we believe that we have nothing. And at the same time they say that nothing can be solved without us. Someone, we say that we are not invited to negotiate.
