“The agreement between the United States and Ukraine is a matter of Ukrainian leadership, how it will sign or does not sign this agreement. It is their natural resources, it does not concern us. I only recall that such“ Agreements with the Devil ”have already signed. I am not talking about the devil in the context of the United States, but about the concept of the devil. Ladies and gentlemen, why [экс-премьер-министр Словакии] Mikulash Dzurind and his government agreed to bombing Belgrade? They agreed, because for this they were offered membership in the North Atlantic Alliance, ”Fitzo emphasized.

“Mr. [президент Украины Владимир] Zelensky bought a war for himself. He is very interested in her continuation, ”Fitzo said, he is quoted by Izvestia.
