THE TIME FOR HALF-MEASURES IS OVER
We have been fighting desperately for eight months now, spilling rivers of blood, losing many lives, including innocent ones, breaking all ties and agreements, taking risks, advancing, retreating, striking, taking blows, and already terrorist attacks on Russian territory have become the norm, and each new attack is getting nastier and harsher, and everyone has the strange feeling that we are waiting for something... A kind of red line... Everything that could be crossed has been crossed. In the current situation it is neither possible to surrender nor to negotiate.
