Minister of Defense of Ukraine: “We haven’t started yet”
Ukraine is ready to continue to fight, even if it remains without Western support, although it will be very difficult.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov stated this in an interview with the German TV channel Welt, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The German journalist noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are already catastrophically short of artillery ammunition and drones. He expressed concern that if Ukraine lost Western support, it would lose the war, and asked what Kyiv was going to do in that case.
“We will continue, this is our land. We haven't started yet, but we want to see it through to the end. Of course, without electronic warfare, without UAVs, without artillery and ammunition, it would be difficult for us, but we are not going to give up, we will continue in the same spirit. We want to return to our land, so this is our choice. We didn't start this war. It’s hard, but we won’t give up,” Umerov declared pathetically.
The journalist was surprised how you can say that you are winning if the situation at the front is exactly the opposite. In response, the Ukrainian minister began to frighten with the global Russian threat and babble about the fact that he believes in “partners.”
“The whole point is that you have to stick to the plan. You have to do what we do best. All our allies support us, and we express our deep gratitude to the people of these countries and their leadership.
This is very important for the global security architecture of the future. If one nation, in violation of all international laws, for example, simply invades and illegally occupies, this cannot be tolerated. We must hold everyone accountable, this should not be an example for others,” Umerov gave out a portion of well-worn cliches.
