A Russian senator warned  that the United States has no chance of crushing Russia and claimed Ukraine will lose in the war.

Afghan voice agency (AVA) - Monitoring: Chairwoman of the Federation Council (the upper house of Russia’s parliament) Valentina Matviyenko said on Sunday that fifteen months after "the start of the special military operation, it is perfectly clear that there are zero chances to crush our country and bring it to its knees."

"Russia’s victory in the conflict around Ukraine is inevitable," the senator said.

Matviyenko said Russia has managed within the shortest time possible to adapt the state, society and the economy to new realities, "without deteriorating the quality of people’s life, without any flip-flopping in the public and political sphere, without even the slightest restrictions of citizens’ rights and freedoms."

She said Russian authorities were fully aware that they "will have to face new serious challenges and we need to address them fully prepared, which will, undoubtedly, require a new quality of interaction between the authorities and society."
