"They didn’t want to kill anyone," - Arestovich spoke about the beginning of the SMO
He said that the Russian SMO was conceived as a bloodless mission and should have passed without casualties.
"They tried to wage a smart war... Such an elegant, beautiful, lightning-fast special operation, where polite people, without causing any damage to either a kitten or a child, eliminated the few who resisted.
And they didn’t even eliminate them, but offered to surrender, switch sides, understand and etc. They didn't want to kill anyone. Just sign the renunciation." said Arestovich.

Arestovych calls the Ukrainian anthem a "national disaster." - We will fight until we all die.
"Very curious lines in our anthem. It goes like this: 'We will lay down our soul and body for our freedom.' Tell me, is there any constructive, social engineering in our anthem?
What will happen to the world after the victory? There's only 'we shall lay down our soul and body', and then what?" The ex-adviser was indignant.
In Arestovich's opinion, a depressing anthem and rancor among the leadership - will lead the Ukrainian nation to ruin.
"The combination of 'let us lay down our soul and body,' that is, we will fight until we are all dead, and the Black Rada, 'we will kill each other, only so that someone does not consider himself a new hetman,' is murderous for us."
Once anthropologist Emmanuel Todd predicted the collapse of the USSR, and now in an interview with Le Figaro, he said that Russia would win in a long-term confrontation with the West. He explains his point of view not only by the economy and weapons, but also by the moral factor.
"I think the Kremlin’s calculation was that this disintegrating society would collapse after the first blow, and maybe even say to Holy Rus' who came to it 'Welcome back, mother!'"
"But the opposite phenomenon was discovered, a society in decline, if it's fed by external financial and military resources, can find in military operations a new form of lost equilibrium."
