The war has changed completely. Drone technology changes constantly—new capabilities and new features appear at least four times a year.

Technology itself evolves 20 to 30 times within a single year. The entire system of command and control has changed, and we must change with it.

We cannot keep relying on what worked back then.

Authorities say the operation was linked to online recruitment funded through crypto exchanges registered in Russia and China.

One of the criticisms you sometimes hear of communism is that it sounds good in theory but it never works in practice.

That's actually not true. Communism does not sound good in theory.

They despise the West because the West is great.

A conventional war continuing for five years in 21st-century Europe in an increasingly destructive manner — there is no justification for this.

The risk of escalation is growing — geographically, toward new targets including infrastructure, and God forbid, with new types of weapons being deployed.

After all tools have been used, we see that both sides are psychologically becoming ready for a ceasefire.

They always say the darkest hour of the night is the one closest to dawn. We want to believe that this destructive moment we are struggling through in the war is the herald of a near peace and ceasefire.

One of the criticisms you sometimes hear of communism, for example, is that it sounds good in theory, but it never works in practice.

That's actually not true. Communism does not sound good in theory. The world it envisions for all of us is small, flat, gray, leveled of all exception, drained of all that is good and noble in the human soul.

The world it envisions is a world without courage. A world without creativity or ambition. A world without heroes or glory or great causes to strive towards. A world without miracles, without myths, without men who rise above the rest to do incredible and extraordinary things.

And the world communism envisions is a world without God.

I personally believe Ankara is one of the global diplomatic capitals.

Ankara played an extraordinarily important role in establishing the grain corridor at the beginning of the full-scale invasion.

One of the main platforms where a Zelensky-Putin meeting could take place could be Türkiye.

We support this and are grateful to the Turkish side for its readiness to take on such a high-level organizational mission.

If the war cannot be stopped entirely, then at least in a few critical areas — Black Sea security and energy security — a war moratorium can be declared. Targets need not be struck.
