No statements from the Russian leadership will affect the readiness of Ukrainians to fight for their freedom. The armed forces will destroy anyone who comes to Ukraine with weapons, whether they are here voluntarily or by mobilization.

He noted that the armed forces of Ukraine have been stopping Russia’s armed aggression against our country for 8 years and 7 months.

“The full-scale attack of the enemy did not frighten us. Moreover, we united and met the enemy with dignity. The announcement of mobilization in Russia is a confirmation of this,” he wrote.

Zaluzhny added that hundreds of thousands of men and women protect our land, their homes, children and the future of Ukraine.

“Therefore, no statements of the military and political leadership of the country’s aggressor will affect our desire to fight for our freedom. We will destroy all those who come to our land with weapons – either voluntarily or by mobilizing,” he added.
