  • “The large-scale offensive of the enemy did not frighten us. Moreover, we rallied and met the enemy with dignity.
  • The announcement of mobilization in Russia is a confirmation of that.
  • Therefore, no statements of the military and political leadership of the aggressor country will affect our willingness to fight for our freedom.
  • We will destroy everyone who comes to our land – either voluntarily or through mobilization,” said Zaluzhny.

According to Zaluzhnyi, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been restraining the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine for 8 years and 7 months.

Hundreds of thousands of men and women defend their Motherland, their homes, their children and the future of the country.

Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization on Wednesday and threatened the West that he would not hesitate to respond to the “nuclear blackmail” practiced by the leaders of major NATO powers.

He declared that “the West wants to destroy Russia” and made Ukrainians “cannon fodder”.
