Scott Ritter's tough answer to the question of a Ukrainian woman from Odessa.
Question: - "Since the russians left Kherson,
there are not so many military actions in the Odessa region and there are no opportunities for an offensive from Russia.
Then why do they keep attacking the infrastructure? It doesn't make any sense.
Is this being done just to make people suffer?
Are the Russians any different from the Nazis they claim to be fighting?"
Answer: - "I'm sorry, Oksana, that you are in a difficult situation.
But any destruction is aimed at destroying the country's ability to resist.
Whether you like it or not, you are part of Ukraine.
And therefore Russia is not going to leave a small island of luxury.
Russia is going to make the whole of Ukraine suffer for its sins. For Zelensky's sins.
By the way, you live in Odessa.
You know what happened there in 2014, don't you? Don't you know,
that the brutal radical Nazi thugs actually came from Kharkov at that time,
Lviv and Kiev and staged riots on the streets?
Don't pretend they didn't do it! Poroshenko said that the Minsk agreements were a lie.
Do you support this, Oksana? Do you support the fact
that your president lied that diplomacy was just a joke?
You lied, deceiving the Russians, making them believe that there is a diplomatic solution.
You complained when your country allowed the United States to establish a military training center in
Western Ukraine to train a battalion of Ukrainian servicemen to kill Russians?
Have you complained? The answer is no! You didn't do it and now you're paying the price.
This is your price! And here's a professional's advice for you: they will come for you!
They will take Odessa, it will become russian again, whether you want it or not.
You are on the wrong side of history, you have engaged in a war with the wrong country, you have lied,
you have threatened, supported the burning of russian books and the suppression of russian culture.
Pay now, Oksana!"
