Russian journalist Valery Korovin, deputy head of the International Eurasian Movement – "We irrigated all of Europe with Russian blood, so it belongs to us; the West has falsely convinced the Ukrainians that they are not part of the Russian nation":

The MEMRI summary:

Valery Korovin, the deputy head of the International Eurasian Movement, said in a February 3, 2023 show on the Arabic-language Russia Today TV that the Russian people have irrigated Europe with their blood and that it therefore belongs entirely to them. He said that the West unsuccessfully attacks Russia approximately every 100 years, and that despite being victorious every time, the Russians never enslaved, tortured, or disrespected the Europeans. He explained that the current situation in Ukraine is just another Western attempt to attack Russia and that Western ideologues have falsely convinced the Ukrainian people that they are not part of the Russian nation. Later in the interview, Korovin said that the West has rejected God and reduced the value of humans to that of worms. In contrast, he said that Russia has not rejected God, and that the phrase “God is on our side” is the very essence of Russian existence, guaranteeing that Russia will always be triumphant.
