The West’s «policy of indulgence» only strengthens the Kremlin dictator’s appetite
Arestovych believes that the «policy of indulgence» of the West only strengthens Putin’s appetites in the war with Ukraine, and the aggressor can be stopped only by physical destruction.
Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to the head of the President’s Office, said the West’s desire to «save Putin’s face» only made the aggressor president think he was doing the right thing.
Arestovich made this statement on June 13 in a conversation with Russian human rights activist and journalist Mark Feigin.
«They do not understand Putin’s psychology. Putin’s psychology is very simple. If he is in dialogue with the West, when he has committed all possible crimes and declared an anti-Western war in Ukraine, he tells the West: «I am at war with you» and the West tells him «We must let you save face, you must not be humiliated.» How does Putin and his entourage read it? «The West’s» policy of indulgence «only strengthens its appetite and desire to bring it all to an end. And it will stop its simple physical destruction, which requires weapons,» Arestovych said.
