'We will win, 100 percent,' said Andrey Gurulyov, a Russian parliament member and former military commander. 'Where? Everywhere! Everywhere!'
Putin has often referenced World War II to justify his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. On February 24, 2022, the Russian leader said his"special military operation" aimed to"denazify" Ukraine. And, speaking at the 77th annual celebration of the defeat of Nazi Germany in May 2022, he told Russian soldiers that they were"fighting for the same thing their fathers and grandfathers did.
Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union but became occupied by Nazi Germany in 1941. Part of the population initially welcomed the Germans as liberators though resistance to the occupation did eventually take shape. Soviet forces reclaimed all of Ukraine by the end of October 1944. After the war, the Soviet Union's sphere of influence encompassed much of Central and Eastern Europe.
Gurulyov began by saying that Russia must make plans"beyond the horizon" so that"we know what happens in one year, three years, five years and 10 years and harshly move towards it in this paradigm.""And this is by far not about Ukraine. Everywhere! Russia was, is, and will be a great nation, capable of bringing peace. Peace is the key word! We bring peace and calm!" Gurulyov continued.
"But we have to draw the conclusion that we didn't take it far enough in 1945. Today, we have to keep pushing to make sure there is no danger and trouble for our country ever again," the politician added. It is unclear what exactly Gurulyov—deputy commander of the Southern Military District between 2016 and 2019—meant by this statement but he has consistently made controversial remarks on the Russia-1 program throughout the conflict in Ukraine.
