What kind of platform do I have now? This is not a platform, but a defendant’s bench. But there is one advantage. You know how people sometimes say in an argument, “I want the record to show.” Even though, of course, there is no actual record. But I have one. In the literal sense. Everything I say will go into the court record. So I began today’s hearing with a motion: - Your Honor, I want to state officially, for the record: I am against this war. I believe it is immoral, fratricidal, and criminal. It was unleashed by the Kremlin gang so that it would be easier for them to steal. They kill in order to steal. It seemed important to me to say this specifically for the record. So that it remains. So that I myself will always remember that I said these words at the moment when they needed to be said: I am against this war. You should say it too.
