UKRAINE ON THE BRAIN I

As a result, the country was not prepared to counter the invasion by Nazi Germany, which attacked our Motherland on June 22, 1941, without declaring war.

The country stopped the enemy and went on to defeat it, but this came at a tremendous cost.

The attempt to appease the aggressor ahead of the Great Patriotic War proved to be a mistake which came at a high cost for our people.

In the first months after the hostilities broke out, we lost vast territories of strategic importance, as well as millions of lives.

We will not make this mistake the second time.

We have no right to do so.

Those who aspire to global dominance have publicly designated Russia as their enemy.

They did so with impunity.

Make no mistake, they had no reason to act this way.

It is true that they have considerable financial, scientific, technological, and military capabilities.

We are aware of this and have an objective view of the economic threats we have been hearing, just as our ability to counter this brash and never-ending blackmail.

Let me reiterate that we have no illusions in this regard and are extremely realistic in our assessments.
