This opinion was expressed on air by the 112 Ukraine TV channel by the commander of the nationalist OUN battalion, Nikolai Kokhanivsky.
“Russia is an empire, and in order to remain as such, it needs to expand. At this point, she has essentially defeated us. We lost territory, Russia gained control over it. Appetite comes with eating, we see the same thing in Syria. In order to keep the huge masses of the population, they still need to dictate, and then Putin is already presenting to the whole world, challenging, that a unipolar world does not suit us, we are already big, we can dictate,” the battalion commander said.
In his opinion, Ukraine needs to rely only on itself to protect its territorial integrity.
“I think that the world will swallow this and sacrifice Ukraine if we don’t also join this fight now. The Minsk agreements are a lose-lose for us, and they gave Putin carte blanche to attack, essentially, the whole world, and the world can swallow this, it happened more than once, sacrificing Ukraine. We can go back 70 years, approximately the same thing happened. Therefore, we need to prepare for war,” Kokhanivsky concluded.
Let us remind you that tomorrow a meeting of the “Normandy Four” – Merkel, Hollande, Putin and Poroshenko – will take place in Paris.
