Zhenya, I support it.

At the heart of this escalation lie arrogance and overconfidence. This is a path to the brink of the abyss.

We must realize that the moment when nothing can be changed any longer may come very quickly and unexpectedly for everyone. The logic of escalating, increasingly harsh retaliatory measures leads to a fatal point of no return.
