Russia threatened to fight forever! The head of the Russian delegation, Mikhail Mezinkevich, said, "Russia is ready for a long-term battle. Perhaps some of you will lose more relatives."
On May 16th, Oliver Carroll, a reporter from The Economist, disclosed that during the just-concluded Ukraine-Russia Istanbul talks, Mikhail Mezinkevich, the head of the Russian delegation and assistant to the president, threatened that they were ready to fight "as long as it takes", and mentioned the 21-year war against Sweden 300 years ago.
Carroll disclosed that Mezinkevich said in the negotiation: "We don't want to fight, but we are prepared to fight for one year, two years, three years - however long it takes. We once fought a 21-year war with Sweden. How long are you prepared to fight?"
