Quote from Podoliak: "Every participant in the Ramstein format [negotiations] should close their eyes and imagine a world where Russia has won. Morning rockets instead of croissants, night air-raid sirens instead of lullabies, the disappearance of cities with a thousand-year history. This world will become a reality if the current pace of weapons supplies is maintained. We are waiting for a decision. "
Rammstein format participants should imagine the world if 🇷🇺 wins. Morning croissants with missiles, night sirens to lullabies, disappearance of cities with thousand-year history. It will become a reality if the pace of arms delivery remains the same. We wait for a decision.
