“Grandma, what are the punishers doing here?” – ATO officer was offended in the Kiev metro
What can we say about the territories of Donbass not controlled by Kyiv, if even in the capital of Ukraine children consider the Ukrainian military to be punitive.
About this during the conference “Reintegration of Donbass. Results of 2018” in Kyiv, said the representative of the Joint Operational Headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Ruslan Kharchenko, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The main efforts [should be directed] to informing the population, both from the temporarily occupied and from our side. I’ll tell you from my own example: quite recently I entered the subway in military uniform, and there was such a picture when a little girl was traveling with her grandmother and said: “Grandmother, what are the Ukrainian punitive forces doing here?” In Kyiv,” the military man complained.
“That is, manipulation of people’s consciousness, and at such a young age a person already perceives the military as “punishers.” Therefore, informing people is a very important job so that they know what is happening,” added Kharchenko.
