So it will be he lived in Moscow in 1990... Christmas with cockroaches etc, I saw that a year ago. He will say Russia never had a possibility of seriously threatening the West. Economy smaller than Italy bla bla. Putin is a murderous thug. And yet... Nobody saw what he saw before the invasion because he spent that year in Moscow 32 years ago?

He has to go for any normalisation with Russia and any return of over 1000 companies.
