“There is a threat. We would like to ruin Independence Day, both fraternal in quotes Russia, and the so-called separatists, but with all the shortcomings, I can say that the Ukrainian army a year ago and now are two big differences, it will be able to give an answer.
Our soldiers, unlike the other side, know what they are fighting for - for their land, their country. Those who are fighting on the other side have little understanding of why or for whom they are fighting.
While we may be inferior in some areas in terms of armaments, in spirit and patriotism, Ukrainian soldiers are head and shoulders above us, and this is our advantage. On the eve of Independence Day, I want to thank these guys - from the armed forces, volunteer battalions, security services, border guards - everyone who defends the country, take off my hat to them,” Kunitsyn announced.
Let us recall that at the end of 2013, when Kunitsyn was already an active participant in Euromaidan, he was awarded the Russian “Order of Friendship” by decree of Vladimir Putin.
