According to him, the population of Russia has shown a complete inability to live in the world as good and predictable neighbors.

Diplomat Valery Chaly believes that after the end of the war in Ukraine, it will be necessary to look for ways to protect against Russia.

Rockets that will reach key points will be able to help in this, he said on Espresso.

“For the next 10, 15 or 20 years, we need to find ways to close ourselves off from them. We need to protect ourselves from their threats, and for that we need medium- and short-range missiles that reach their key points, and we also need the NATO umbrella. We must we are no longer interested in what will happen in Russia, but to what extent Ukraine will be able to create security against any destructive Russian scenarios in the future,” Chaly explained.

According to him, Russia and its population have shown their complete inability to live in the world as good and predictable neighbors.

“It seems to me that this group of people who currently lead the Russian Federation will leave the stage physically. And then there will be the leadership of Russia or groups of countries that are formed in these spaces, then we will see what will happen there. I do not see anything optimistic, further everything will depend on the people who live there. And we will need to ensure our security, also join NATO, put up wire on the borders to prevent all kinds of illegal crossings,” the diplomat concluded.
