“We must not listen to what Russian propaganda says. They are not only attacking military targets, but also civilian targets,” he clarified. “Despite all our attempts to prevent the invasion, we are already on the second day of the war – and you know what is happening even better than me.”
“It’s not just a tank battle near Kharkov or some forces near Kiev. The Ukrainian army is facing all the forces trying to occupy the big cities. Most people in the big cities spent the night at subway stations to defend themselves from the airstrikes. The president and members of the Ukrainian government are in Kiev office. And are planning the military moves. “
“We are currently negotiating with Israel for humanitarian aid, and I welcome the announcement by Foreign Minister Yair Lapid that he condemned the Russian invasion. We are facing the Russian aggression, and we will do everything to prevent defeat. Many politicians and journalists say we must learn from Israel how “Our army must be prepared for the possibility of Russian occupation. This will require a great deal of strength from the Ukrainian people.”
