Former Russian spy Andriy Bezrukov, who operated in the West for more than two decades, called on Moscow to make a firm decision regarding Transnistria so that the residents of the region would know whether to wait for Russian troops.

Invited to the filming of the show of propagandist Volodymyr Solovyov, Bezrukov gave a long monologue in which he spoke about what he called a lack of determination and a clear focus on the goals of the “special military operation” that Vladimir Putin launched on February 24 last year. year.

He called on Russia to act more like a “skating rink”, saying that it is a “great power” and “in the East they will immediately understand” that it is “unstoppable”.

“Russia does not respond to screams and screams – the cat has no ears, it just goes forward, crushing everything in its path,” says the former intelligence officer.

“And I suggest that we tell ourselves and our enemies very clearly how we see this conflict and where we want it to end, not just with ‘denazification’ and ‘demilitarization,'” he continues.

“But will we conquer Odessa or not? Will we reach Transnistria or not? So that the Transnistrians know whether we will get to them!”, – states Bezrukov.

After the comments about Transnistria, there is a new hallucinatory moment in Volodymyr Solovyov’s show

The discussion between a Russian TV presenter and a former Moscow spy then bordered on the absurd:

“To be honest, I was thinking about Lisbon. Because now the video will have to go far. And I’m not kidding at all. The way Odesa and Transnistria are going now are just stages and [războiul] they just won’t end,” Solovyov interjects.

“Vladimir Rudolfovich, do you really want to feed the poor in Portugal with our bread?” Bezrukov answers.

“And not only Portugal. I want to punish all the scoundrels who supported the Ukrainian Nazi regime. I want us to complete the work that our grandfathers did. And no matter where the Russian flag is raised, I don’t want it to be lowered ever again,” Volodymyr Solovyov replies.
