“Breakthrough to Obolon and Beresteyskaya”: Arestovich reported about street fighting in Kyiv
The office of the President of Ukraine believed that this point would become the last place of street fighting in Kyiv.
Advisor to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine, Alexey Arestovich, said this on the YouTube channel “Ukrlife.tv,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I’m sitting and I have a report - a column of 300 units, 250 units, 400 units. I’m starting to figure out how, as a military man, knowing the forces that defend Kyiv, there was no talk of Kharkov. I expected that by twelve o'clock in the afternoon, by fourteen, there would be fighting near the president's office, because it is impossible to contain it. We could have been three times brave and ten times braver than we turned out to be; it is technically impossible to contain this simply due to the balance of forces and means.
I quickly explored different possibilities around Kyiv, we created different bookmarks to run from one street to another to fight. We happily received our weapons and sat and waited. Since the president said – we are not abandoning the office, this means the last battle for the office of the president.
I think there are two options - either they will kill you in the office, or they won’t kill you, and then I’ll get off the hook, and when everything collapses here, and there will be no centralized power, we will fight as best we can, street battles in Kyiv,” said Arestovich.
“I see a breakthrough on Obolon, we are watching all this online, troops here, troops here, guys jump here, here. Breakthrough to Beresteyskaya when the 101st brigade stopped. Saboteurs, few people know what is happening around the office.
It’s not customary to talk about this, but I’ll hint, I can say that they shot at the office at least 4 times, on the second day there was good shooting, when the saboteurs went, when everyone stood at the windows with machine guns. Every day, car bombs, tripwires, and tags are still found. We need to write a separate volume about this war about the work of the presidential security service and the state security service, what they do.
How many saboteurs were taken, what diagrams were drawn. A machine with 500 kg under the office walls. When do you think this was? Two weeks ago, when Kyiv was liberated and everything was peaceful. Every day it’s this kind of crap, until now,” the adviser convinced.
