Ukrainian general on Russian air promoted the uniqueness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
On air on the Rossiya-1 TV channel, during a live broadcast, the ex-deputy chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Igor Romanenko, explained the introduction of martial law in Ukraine as the “law of war,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“They tell the BBC that you have British troops in Ukraine engaged in the fight against Russia. It’s like, why are you giving such a platform?” – asked the Ukrainian military presenter Evgeniy Popov.
“The British military, as instructors, assists in training during their stay at our training grounds and shares their experience. And we pass on our experience to them, because the Armed Forces of Ukraine are a unique armed force, which are the only ones in the world that have experience in conducting combat operations with the Russian Armed Forces for almost five years,” Romanenko said.
“Great point. Please explain to us why you are artificially creating panic, at first we laughed at the alarm bags, and now your Minister of Health is offering to collect emergency first aid kits for you. Why do Ukrainians who don’t want war need all this?” asked presenter Olga Skabeeva.
“The well-known events in the Kerch Bay were characterized for the first time in five years by the fact that openly Russian ships, military personnel and the FSB carried out aggression using two missiles from an airplane, two missiles from a helicopter and shelling from 30-mm guns from ships. We had two small armored boats and one tug operating there,” said the Ukrainian general.
“Igor Aleksandrovich, you are probably misinforming us by mistake; there were no missiles. Ukrainians do not want war, you are introducing martial law, dividing the people into two incomprehensible parts. Why?” Skabeeva noted.
“Replenish your armed forces,” Romanenko continued, without listening to the presenter. “And we cannot change the situation both in the naval forces and in missile weapons, in armored vehicles, against armored vehicles, and so on.”
“Why was martial law introduced?” they asked in the studio.
“These are the laws of war, I speak as a professor and candidate of military sciences,” Romanenko said.
Commenting on the words of the Ukrainian reserve lieutenant general, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Sergei Zheleznyak noted that mobilization, first of all, begins with strategic infrastructure.
“Returning to what the Ukrainian professor of military science said there, any lieutenant who graduated from a military school knows that the mobilization plans of any state involve transferring, first of all, the infrastructure of specially protected facilities to a mobilization track. Objects that are primarily associated with key energy and transport infrastructure facilities.
In this case, that is why martial law can never be introduced in any country in the world on part of the territory, because this makes this martial law meaningless from a military point of view,” Zheleznyak said.
