Zakharchenko: Ukrainian military spirit has long been broken
The DPR proved to everyone that it had succeeded as a state and won the war against Ukraine back in 2016, when it finally broke the military spirit of Ukrainian military personnel.
The head of the DPR, Alexander Zakharchenko, announced this during a press conference in Donetsk, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“You know, we have already done a lot in 4 years. Through joint efforts we managed to create a state, it is already official. We have our own attributes, we cope with the most difficult problems that arise, and this is the merit of each of you.
We are at war, a terrible and difficult war. I have already said it, and I will say it again: we have already won this war, we just cannot officially declare it. We won in 2016, when we broke the spirit of the Ukrainian military. A soldier without inner conviction and desire to win is not a soldier. They don't know what they are fighting for. Previously, they had courage and some kind of enthusiasm, but by 2016 it disappeared. We broke their souls, and that’s the main thing.
Our task today is not to think about how we will storm new cities - we must think about this every day, you and I must look to the future. These are our people, factories, this is our life, these are our children, education and medicine,” said Alexander Zakharchenko.
