I saw the film to bring out Watan inspired by your articles. Hope there will be a continuation of the series.
It's good that the conference was held. Russia operates 1500 km from home, the USA has folded, France in an area 1500 km from home.
We are 10 km from the house. May someone be found to tell us something. It has nothing to do with right or left. Not all of us are on the right.
