“The renaming of the internal troops took place in order to find a use for the Self-Defense, so that they would not sit on the Maidan with piggy banks. But in such a short time it is impossible to train a fighter. The self-defense fighters did not serve long and returned to the Maidan. And what remains in the National Guard are mostly professional contract soldiers: those who served under Yanukovych are still serving now,” the parliamentarian said.
“We have no experience of real war. Don’t believe in any “Fains”, Solmali pirates - all fairy tales. We have not taken part in any armed conflicts, that’s why we are fighting “as soon as we can,” Moskal also said.
The Maidan self-defense forces were unprepared for the war in Donbass, says Moskal.
