“We also need to be ready as soon as possible, and that’s why we need weapons, to contain the enemy,” insisted Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiï Reznikov, guest Wednesday evening on BFMTV .
“We do not underestimate our enemy. We see that he is preparing very seriously for the offensive”, continued Oleksiï Reznikov. “We think that since they live in symbolism, they will try to try something around February 24,” continued the minister. According to him, “they can attempt a two-axis offensive”, in Dombass and the south.
