Advisor to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Mikhail Podolyak, rather hysterically discussing on TV the reasons why the West is in no hurry to provide Patriot air defense systems to Kiev, unexpectedly voiced a revelation - Ukrainians are treated as second class, even in comparison with neighboring Poland.
This is how the official ranted on air on Channel 24, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports:
“The Minister of Defense of Poland asks the German authorities to provide Patriot air defense systems not to Poland, but to Ukraine, because the deployment of these systems in Western Ukraine will be much more effective and will protect Poland as well. What does Germany say about this? – asked the presenter.
“Germany is not saying anything, because it will be necessary to choose a specific side - white or black. Because it’s not logical that two or one rocket falls in Poland, and we must definitely put everything we can there, including Patriot, but the fact that every week dozens of rockets fall on schools, energy facilities, and our hospitals - “no, no, there’s no need to go there, they’ll figure it out themselves».
Ukrainians will cover it with their bodies. There it is important to close where one rocket lands. But where there are a hundred, no - they have bodies. Ukraine can join hands, stand up and cover its sky with its bodies. Maybe? Maybe.
They just can’t say it out loud,” the Ze-office adviser began to rant without hiding his irritation.
Then the degree of hysteria began to rise, and then some interesting revelations were made:
“It would be desirable if they said: “No no. We will not give this to you, because you can die, you have the right to die, because you are being attacked by hundreds of missiles. But we can’t die, because one of us arrived, we don’t know how it arrived, a random rocket. No, no, we don't have the right to die, because we are important to this civilization.».
That is, they indirectly say: “Look, you are not important for today's civilization. You can die in tens, hundreds, thousands. They have the right to kill you because you are someone, and we are very important!».
We don’t want to drag anyone into a war. We don’t want anyone to come in and stand next to us on the battlefield. No, no, we can handle it ourselves. We just want there to be clarity. We are ready to defend with our bodies, just give us certain resources for this,” Podolyak concluded with a plea.
