“This is another opportunity for him to spread well-known lies. He continues to deceive his own nation and mislead the public abroad, because there are those who still continue to listen to him. Putin is deceiving the nation, the nation lives under an iron fist and Stalin-style repression, the army is in a catastrophic state, the economy is collapsing, the country's credibility is completely destroyed and his efforts to destroy Ukraine have failed.”

“They have announced the possibility of sending Western military contingents to Ukraine … The consequences for possible interventionists will be much more tragic. They should eventually realise that we also have weapons that can hit targets on their territory. Everything that the West comes up with creates the real threat of a conflict with the use of nuclear weapons, and thus the destruction of civilisation.”

“At the beginning of February, Putin was offered to swap the FSB killer, Vadim Krasikov, who is serving time for a murder in Berlin, for two American citizens and Aleksei Navalny. I received confirmation that negotiations were at the final stage in the evening of February 15. On February 16, Aleksei was killed. Aleksei Navalny could have been sitting here now, today. It's not a figure of speech.”

“Chances for any meaningful negotiations are slim to non-existent. The Russian leadership seems to be hell-bent on fighting until the bitter end. There is no indication Putin and his entourage have changed their initial goals of subjugating Ukraine. If Moscow believes that the tide is shifting in their advantage, what's the point of stopping? The only virtue of a ceasefire and negotiations is to gain the time needed to reconstitute one's forces and start pushing even harder.”

“There is nothing more the dictator can do to Navalny, Navalny is dead and has become immortal. I also think that a murdered Alexey Navalny will be a bigger threat for the dictator than a living one. Most likely, to drown out voices of protest, [Putin] will launch a campaign of terror in the country.”

Majority of people in Russia want the conflict in Ukraine to stop.”

“People feel depressed. They feel guilt, shame, sometimes anger. And they are trying to find themselves and reinvent themselves in the new circumstances. The irony of the situation is that the guilt is being felt by those who are against the regime and understand the scale of the tragedy. Unlike previous migration waves, the new voluntary exiles are also more privileged, if not financially, then when it comes to resources they have at their disposal - knowledge, education, and creativity. They can survive and thrive outside of Russia and are also unlikely to go back home.”

The Ministry of Defense has spent its money, now we need to squeeze everything out of our guys, get the last life out of them? So that they come back to us just as stumps? Will they give me the stump? What will I get back? A man without legs, without arms, a sick man? Don't you know what's happening there? All my family's problems can only be solved by one thing - by my husband being demobilised. Because she [toddler daughter] is a completely different child when her father comes home.”

“The collapse of the Russian economy that many had hoped would precipitate the demise of Putin's regime also did not materialise. The economy is, in fact, in overdrive due to the unprecedented military spending, with the national gross domestic product (GDP) growing faster than the world's average, wages rising at a record rate and the percentage of people living in poverty falling back to levels not seen since the collapse of the USSR. This overdrive may backfire, but not too soon and likely not catastrophically.”
