‘Targeting civilian residential areas instead of infrastructure – is no ceasefire, but a change of target!’
Swift, true and sharp interview with simple questions and sincere answers with our guest – Mr. Glen Grant, the British officer and former adviser to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense.
— There is no ceasefire, there is no minerals deal, as this is an extortion. Obviously, there are Russian missiles and bombs every day, and our children and soldiers and civilians die, not to mention soldiers on the front line, of course. I’ve recently watched an interview with the former Soviet minister who lives in America today—well, of course—so he said Ukraine should get itself a nuclear weapon now and not listen to anyone. Can you comment on that?
— Yeah. Um, I think before we get a nuclear weapon, because it’s going to take a few years, uh, more importantly, it’s to—it’s to actually sort out the whole defense system. Um, I mean, going back to what you just said about, you know, the war is continuing, there’s no peace. I mean, the—the—the deal from the deal from, uh, Trump is, frankly, I—I call it the USA deal of shame because I don’t think in—in modern times any country—no, in—in any country—has ever asked another country to do something like that.
And, I mean, it’s disgusting. I’m sorry, but it’s disgusting. But I mean, what—what it does, I mean, what it does do is it brings you forward to your question of, you know, do we need nuclear—well, what you’re saying is, do—do we need a nuclear deterrent? But it’s too late for that now. For this war, there is no question now. Maybe afterwards, because there are lots of countries now that are going to say, ‘You cannot rely on us now.’
I mean, what I would say: USA is not Trump. Trump is not USA.
The activities in the U.S. are bringing out an awful lot of, um, world-class people who have been quiet, and it’s going to bring a lot more of them to the fore in the—in—in the coming weeks because that—I think that Signal Gate is just the start of the—of the nonsense. I don’t think that that is the end. I think that once a lot of those people, especially in Congress, actually hear about the deal of shame, then there’s going to be a lot more unhappiness because they will realize that they are shamed with this. And I hope that we can get it into Congress and to any other, uh, good state in America where the—where the governor is—is real and human so that we actually get some political, uh, strength behind Ukraine about this deal because it’s disgusting.
— Well, that’s—you know, the Soviet paradigm is still here. That’s what I see. I mean, you know, friends all around, and—and this is totally wrong.
— Yeah, I mean, and the answer to that has been given by you in our previous interviews. You said it clearly, as a professional, that, uh, brigade commanders that know what they are doing somewhere in the middle—not the top, not the—not the soldiers’ level, but officers who’ve been through the actual fighting on the front line—should actually command it, and—and the office of the president should listen to them.
— Well, all right. Well, last question for tonight: Do you believe, sir, there is any viable way to achieve some sort of a ceasefire, really?
— No. I mean, that’s a short, sharp answer. No, not at the moment. I mean, if Russia goes for a ceasefire, then I think some other people are in trouble because it means they—they—they want to do something else. And the only thing that they would do—I mean, if they go for a ceasefire, it’s a ceasefire to do a little something and then to break it and blame Ukraine.
This is exactly what they’re doing already, and we haven’t actually done anything. So, you know, it’s—it’s—they—people don’t understand that they are intent on getting back their position in the—they see it in the world order. And the fact that Trump offers or accepts them having a—an ice hockey match with a banned team, banned by everybody in America—the possibility of Putin, a banned—a war criminal—going to meet Trump in the USA has them ecstatic in Russia.
Because they think they’re getting back in. And Putin is getting back in, despite the fact of killing, you know, hundreds of thousands of people and murdering and raping and everything else. And he’s being accepted. So they don’t need a ceasefire.
