Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine: “All the traitors remained in Crimea. Ready to fight back"
Today, the Ukrainian armed forces are supposedly one of the best armies in the world.
Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anna Malyar boasted about this on air on the ICTV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The official said that she had visited the front line in Donbass twice recently and did not see panic in the eyes of the Ukrainian military.
“I was also on a business trip last week, recently in the areas of the Joint Forces Operation. There is no panic there. In fact, all the panic is about smartphones. As soon as you go there, the mood is completely different. In fact, today the armed forces are absolutely ready to fight back.
Moreover, the armed forces today are very well informed, because our intelligence, let's be honest, is one of the best in the world. We have received gratitude from other countries for certain joint special operations. There is no surprise today, as there was in 14. Today, the military-political leadership receives information on time and knows exactly how to act,” said Malyar.
She also made a statement that involuntarily resembles an old joke in which one Ukrainian is a partisan, two are a partisan detachment, and three are a partisan detachment with a traitor.
“A very important factor is that we cannot have such a betrayal as we had in 14, because everyone who betrayed then were people in uniform, unfortunately, law enforcement officers and the military, who betrayed their oath in Crimea, they are all left there now. And today this is a completely different defense of the state. And the enemy knows all this very well,” the deputy minister concluded.
