“Thousands of victims to save millions of lives”: the Donetsk commander explained why people are dying in Donbass
The special operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine, although it is taking place with significant casualties and destruction, is needed in order to save the lives of millions of people.
The commander of the DPR “Vostok” battalion, Alexander Khodakovsky, stated this on the Internet channel “Independent Studio”, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We destroy our own cities - this, of course, certainly does not bring balm to our souls. But it’s not that we justify ourselves; we explain this to ourselves by the fact that these sacrifices are and must be made for the sake of something much larger, which will include this Ukraine.
Maybe the salvation of the future Ukraine lies in bringing it back here, tearing it away from the camp where the road to hell is inevitable, joining it to our camp and thereby saving it. Perhaps, while saving tens of millions of lives in the future, we are now making thousands or tens of thousands of victims.
This is the only way we can look at this situation. Why do we need this, for what? What do we want, do we satisfy our ambitions, just satisfy our vanity by showing off our muscles, flexing these muscles? No, the meanings here are much deeper, if we don’t understand them, then we must learn to understand them,” Khodakovsky said.
