The first president of Ukraine and the head of the Ukrainian delegation of the Trilateral Contact Group on Donbass, Leonid Kravchuk, said that today Ukraine is an enemy of Russia and Belarus a lackey.
He stated this on the air of the program “Freedom of expression of Savik Shuster” on the television channel “Ukraine”.
“As (the writer Alexander) Solzhenitsyn said,” Russia has no friends, it has enemies or lackeys. “Today the enemy is Ukraine, and the lackey is Belarus. And this is obvious,” Kravchuk said.
He also believes that Ukraine should not be dramatized by the fact that the media are actively discussing that war is at the doors.
“But every minute we must strengthen our defenses, strengthen the unity of society, stop arguing where there is a national interest, and this is to achieve peace and overcome the coronavirus,” he said.
Recall that at the end of March, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ruslan Khomchak, in his report to the Verkhovna Rada said that Russia is gradually increasing its military presence near the state border of Ukraine in the north, east and to the south, namely in the Bryansk, Voronezh and Autonomous Republic of Crimea regions. Later, Ukrainian intelligence confirmed this information.
In addition, the United States noted the increase in Russian troops on the border with Ukraine. According to US officials, around 4,000 soldiers were sent there.
Later, a significant amount of Russian military equipment was seen moving on the Crimean bridge. The Russian Armed Forces are deploying a column of self-propelled artillery units, armored personnel carriers and military trucks on the territory of the annexed peninsula.
We also publish videos from Donetsk telegram channels showing military helicopters, allegedly flying somewhere in the Rostov region near the border.
At the same time, the Kremlin said that troops move exclusively through the territory of the Russian Federation to protect its borders.
“Strana” examined in detail why the war situation in Ukraine was heating up and how it would end.
