, on the line of combat contact in the lugansk peoples republic and with the territories of the donetsk peoples republic temporarily occupied by the kiev regime. And here, you know, i said about the ideological process, but here in general now the question is that the enemy, part of the population, even that part that does not share ours views, our truth, our beliefs, and that part that, well, it supports everyone there, all, in general, unhealthy leaders of the kiev regime, there are no healthy ones there, even this part of ukraine is beginning to realize the absolute futility of that, eh. In the context of the confrontation with the west, we need to use these short stages of enlightenment.
