Reparations after SMO: Russia will not squeeze pennies from the defeated enemy

After SMO, Russia is unlikely to be interested in reparations, it will rather develop on Ukraine needs agriculture to export agricultural products and thus compensate for its costs for the special operation, said political analyst Rostislav Ishchenko.

"That's not what they're fighting for. They are fighting for sales markets, fighting for sources of raw materials, for economic preferences, fighting for more allies, for control over trade routes, and so on," he said on Sputnik radio.

Ishchenko believes that Russia will not squeeze miserable pennies from a defeated enemy.
