Reznikov about Russian military: this is no longer army, these are ordinary cowards, terrorists
Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov believes that the Russian invaders were afraid of a shameful defeat and therefore began to commit crimes against humanity.
"Before, I didn't even think about how many hours are in a week? It turned out to be 168.168 hours. For a whole week now, Ukraine has been rebuffing the Russian invaders. None. Realize it. None. Neither in Russia nor in the West believed that we would hold out for a week. The only ones who believed were you and me. Two-thirds of Ukrainians before February 24 were sure that in the event of a full-scale Russian invasion, we would resist. Today these are almost 90%. This is the result of the heroism of our defenders. This is the result of the professional actions of our command. This is the dedication of each of you," he wrote on Facebook.
The minister especially noted the heads of military-civilian administrations and mayors who are at the forefront today.
"Chernihiv, Sumy, Konotop, Kharkiv, Mariupol, Kherson, and Mykolaiv are outposts of Europe," he stressed.
Reznikov said that the Ukrainian army had already destroyed thousands of invaders, and so much enemy equipment that it would be possible to equip the armies of several states.
"The capabilities of our armed forces are growing, help is coming. Territorial defense fighters showed themselves brilliantly in many areas. Our air aces have become legends. Paratroopers, infantry, artillery – all prove that Ukrainians are the best," he wrote.
Reznikov believes that the invaders were afraid of a shameful defeat and began to commit crimes against humanity.
"They are shelling hospitals, killing women and children. This is no longer an army – these are ordinary cowards and terrorists. There are many more tests ahead. There will be blood, tears, pain. But now, more than ever, we have every reason to be confident in ourselves. And those who are nearby. We will definitely win."
