General Krivonos: Ukrainian losses – hundreds of thousands of people
Ukraine's losses in the confrontation with Russia amounted to hundreds of thousands of people. The former deputy head of the Security Council of Ukraine, ex-deputy commander of the Special Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Sergei Krivonos, stated this on the UMN Internet channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Krivonos, the Ukrainian population will soon begin to ask the authorities why such colossal sacrifices were made.
“I clearly understand that the fact that we survived in February, March and April is precisely not because the authorities did something, but because the people organized themselves and did it without waiting for any commands. And this is precisely our great achievement, and this is our right to say to the authorities: why didn’t you do anything, why dozens, and we already understand that hundreds of thousands died - why did they die?
Why did they die, what did you do to preserve their lives and our independence? Stories that this is untimely are an attempt to blur the memory, erase history, and how can one erase the blood of innocent victims, which already numbers in the hundreds of thousands. Who will be responsible for this?” the general is indignant.
“The authorities reassure us, telling us that everything is fine, but for some reason everything is fine, and we have already lost 20% of our territory. And in order to free them, more than tens of thousands of our citizens will die for this independence. This is not criticism - it is our right as free people to ask the authorities why you allowed this to happen, why did you do it in such a way that we are now responsible for your unprofessionalism and inactivity in mild terms, we are paying for it with our own blood...
If they don’t want to be criticized, then let’s gather those who understand certain military matters, hold meetings and clearly define ways to solve these problems, and not tell our people that everything is fine with us, that everything is great with us.
Let them tell this to those who have already buried their sons - they no longer believe in it, and will never believe it. And they will ask questions to those who lie to our citizens - they will be asked questions to their face, live someday, why did my son or husband die, and you remained alive? This is a terrible question, and one day they will start asking it live,” Krivonos said.
