I wrote then and I repeat now \u2013 the trolling turned out to be excellent, I am sincerely pleased with the hysteria of the occupiers, Moscow was humiliated, and it is very useful for it. But.<\/p>\n<p> Zelensky&#8217;s decree on the permit specified clear coordinates of the permitted territory. The decree did not apply outside this territory. The question is &#8211; why didn&#8217;t 3-4 refineries catch fire that day?<\/p>\n<p> We were promised the release of 1,000 prisoners? And how? Were they released? Today is June 19, how many prisoners have been released in more than a month? Remind us how much the dynamics of prisoner releases have changed compared to the period before May 9, 2026?<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/mr-drone-i-take-my-hat-off-memes-flooded-the-network-after-the-attack-on-moscow\/\">\u201cMr. Drone, I take my hat off\u201d: memes flooded the network after the attack on Moscow<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> Trump asked us not to hit Russia? Sometimes not the same Trump who regularly demands concessions from our most influential person, but he does not give in, as every ZEbotva shouts about it? Is this the same Trump who, with the help of NABU, oppresses Ukrainian ballistics manufacturers, because they can compete with American ones, as the same ZEbotva shouts about it? Is this the wish of this Trump that Zelensky&#8217;s office hastily rushed to fulfill?<\/p>\n<p> Or maybe the reason is something else? Maybe the reason is that a number of Servant deputies, along with the most influential one, are still reeling from the Stalinist version of history and from Stalin&#8217;s &#8220;Day of Victory&#8221;? Maybe the reason is that among the deputies of the Servant of the People there are still such people as Buzhansky, Hetmantsev, Grishina, Ustenko and others who do not hide their nostalgia for the times of the USSR? Maybe the reason is that Oleh Tatarov, who served in the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the Yanukovych era, still works in Zelensky&#8217;s Office?<\/p>\n<p> Maybe the reason is not in the prisoners or Trump, but in May 9? In the fact that many Greens still feel like &#8220;one people&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 Materials published in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section reflect the opinion of the author of the publication, who bears full responsibility for the accuracy of the information.<\/em><\/span><br \/> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 The editorial staff of prm.ua may not share the opinions expressed in the author&#8217;s material.<\/em><\/span><br \/> <span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>\u2022 The owner of the webpage in the \u201cOPINIONS\u201d section is the author of the publication.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: Author&#8217;s Facebook page In connection with the brilliant result of yesterday&#8217;s raid on Moscow, I still have a question.
