While some talk of the end of NATO, others talk of a regime change in Kyiv as Moscow's ultimate goal in Ukraine.
by Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, Chechen general Apti Alaudinov—who in March led troops of what Russia called volunteers from Chechnya to Ukraine—joined the host of Russia-1's"60 Minutes" to talk about the situation on the battleground in Ukraine.
Alaudinov, who was awarded with the title of commander of the special Akhmat forces and"Hero of Russia" last August, joined the show after appearing in a self-shot video from a snowy Ukraine. Black smoke rises after shelling in Bakhmut on February 3, 2023, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Pundits on Russia's state media don't agree about what should be the ultimate goal of the war in Ukraine.
"This, I believe, is not the way to do it. We should destroy the enemy in his own lair, put flags, as they should, on all the Reichstags [parliaments] of these countries that are trying to bring us to our knees. Then we will be the victors and our children will not be forced to fight with weapons in their hands."
Almost one year after Russia launched a full-scale invasion, propagandists don't have a clear idea what they would consider a Russian victory.
