upd(auto translate):
Let us quote the most striking parts of this long interview, translated from French.
Tolstoy: “Russia is not hitting social facilities, we are hitting infrastructure, and it will be destroyed. Ukraine will be sent to the 18th century. In Ukraine, the only thing that matters is the help of the West, this is the supply of heavy weapons by the West to Kyiv, and you will pay for this!"
Host: "Are you threatening us, are you saying that Europe will pay for the war?"
Tolstoy: “The West, Europe will pay for the war. It will be expensive, for the middle class, for the European Union, which will face an economic crisis. Your politicians will also pay, who will end up in the dustbin of history for this war. And those in 3-5 years will come to replace them, stand in line for the right to negotiate with Russia ...
“Not we, not Russia started the war. It was you who started the war because no one in the West was interested in our security, our concern was ignored, it was you who brought NATO to our borders. Now we will win the war, we will reach Kyiv, we will reach the border with Poland and invite you all there.
Russia is the largest country, and we fought twice with Europe. Russia ended the first war in Paris, the second - in Berlin. Therefore, when I said that we would finish in Kyiv, I was even more modest.
You will pay for the support of Ukraine, with your economy, souls once a week, inflation, the price of gas, electricity.
Russia is a nuclear power, and you must understand that a nuclear power cannot lose a war.”
Host: "Are you threatening with nuclear weapons?"
Tolstoy: “I am not threatening with nuclear weapons, it was the West that used uranium charges in the bombing of Yugoslavia.
It was you who killed hundreds of thousands of people in the world (Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan) with your pseudo-romantic rhetoric. This war is not for months, so the West better get ready, you will have plenty of time to feel everything.
For eight years, Ukraine has been killing the children of Donbass. All these years, 20 million Russians have been discriminated against in Ukraine, they have been deprived of their history, their language. Do you think this is not suffering?"
Moderator: “During today’s conversation, you frankly expressed your dislike for NATO, the European Union, are your troops going to cross the border with Poland?”
Tolstoy: “Why should we go to Poland? Why? We are not the source of this tension in relations with the West, it is the US and the EU that are sending weapons to Ukraine that are used to strike at our cities.
It's not our fault, it's your fault. Of course, in every war there comes a moment when it is necessary to negotiate, but now, in my opinion, this moment has not yet come.
We are not going to cross the border with Poland, we will leave it to the EU, the European Union will finish Poland faster.”
... The French public reacted very violently and, as can be seen from the comments under the video, with understanding to the assessments and theses of Peter Tolstoy.
The French left about 5600 comments under the video, mostly positive about the Russian guest of the French TV studio.
