Original: "Если утрата территорий неизбежно произойдет, есть ли смысл за них цепляться?" , - кремлевский диктатор Гнида также выра
Russian President Vladimir Putin raised the question of whether it makes sense to hold on to territories if their loss is inevitable, while also expressing confidence that Russia will 'liberate' the Donbas much sooner than in 1.5 to 2 years.
