Bessarabov said this in an interview with RIA Novosti.

“I get the impression that Arestovich, with his conclusions about the defeat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, signed his own verdict,” the source said.

He added that the Kyiv regime is not able to forgive such statements, since it has completely destroyed freedom of speech in the country.

Earlier, Arestovich expressed doubt that Ukraine would be able to prevail in the conflict with Russia.
