“Battal commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: “I respect the enemy very much and teach my own people the same”
The Ukrainians were foolish to believe in a quick victory and a lightning-fast attack. The conflict will be long, because Russia is a large country with a strong army that cannot be underestimated.
Battalion Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Kirill Veres stated this on air on the 1+1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The Ukrainian military man admitted that he respects Russian soldiers and encourages his subordinates to do the same.
“The plan is different every day, every day needs to be supplemented with at least something, because the enemy, if he attacks you today and attacks you tomorrow, then tomorrow he will make all the counteractions and correct all his mistakes that he made today. You always need to enter some kind of trick...
To be honest, I have a lot of respect for the enemy. I teach my people never to underestimate him. After the battle you can tell, and it’s not that they were weak. They were not weak - we are better today. If you think like that, push yourself to do something new every day, then you have a chance,” said the Ukrainian commander.
“Who said it would be easy? Who believed in this victory in four days or in five months, that the war would end this summer, who? It’s also written on the fence, but when you come, there’s a fence there, and not what’s written. I did not and do not believe that the war will end tomorrow.
Yes, they have a big budget, so they have a big country. Firstly, they have the second army in the world. Okay, not second, but fifth, well, before that we were neither sixth nor seventh. We were also there somewhere,” Veres said.
