"We need to scale up our strikes against critical infrastructure in such a way that one region after the next, one district after another, Ukraine is plunged into darkness... By December, 20 million residents of Ukraine should flee to the West, to the European Union. This is our goal and the task we should accomplish."
"Russia doesn't want or desire war with the UK. But if British soldiers land in Ukraine and engage in combat against the Russian armed forces, we reserve the right to resort to any possible actions and we need to record officially in our doctrinal documentation that the participation of any Nato country's servicemen in the conflict against the Russian army in Ukraine, resistance using force on their part to the special military operation gives Russia the right to respond in any way, including preventive strikes. There's no need for immediate nuclear strikes. We have three systems carrying Kinzhal missiles. So when Britain suddenly decides to make war with Russia, let us deliver three demonstrative strikes on London, not on civilian targets, but on the UK Ministry of Defense, where they make plans and are designing war against Russia, against British military bases, where, among other things, US nuclear weapons are stored, and on other decision-making centers in London. This is not a threat, this is preventive right to self-defense which we must exercise without fail should Britain really decide to fight us."
"The only thing the West fears today is the possibility of Russia using its tactical nuclear weapons."
"The West has to understand: if certain weapons exist, taboos and limitations on using them could be lifted in certain circumstances."
