As well as the Antarctic\u2026 We discovered it, so it belongs to us\u2026 Also, the return of all medals that have been unlawfully taken from our sportsmen during all Olympic games, as well as the extradition of [Grigory] Rodchenkov, along with the extradition of multiple other criminals we\u2019ll want. I think we should start voicing all of that, so they understand what will be on the table. You didn\u2019t want to talk to us about something small, like Ukraine\u2019s neutrality, here\u2019s what you get. And that\u2019s not even all of it,\u201d the lawmaker said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Either they\u2019re getting pretty desperate and\/or they\u2019re spinning to seem tough at this point,after an incredibly embarrassing showing of how badly they are fighting in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Ukraine is doing remarkably well with fierce resistance with the help of the West. But also Russia has been awful, right from the start. They hadn\u2019t planned out what the needs might be if they met resistance so they immediately had food or fuel issues. But even beyond that, their strategic ability leaves much to be desired \u2013 such as having all their tanks bunched up in a convoy right on a main road near Kyiv, practically begging to be hit by artillery. So, <a href=\"https:\/\/redstate.com\/nick-arama\/2022\/03\/10\/watch-russian-tank-convoy-gets-blasted-in-ambush-near-kyiv-n534431\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it was, and they had to flee <\/a>with their tail between their legs.<\/p>\n<p>But,if Russia thought that the demands would save their reputation, it didn\u2019t go over well.
