According to Oleksiy Reznikov, Ukrainians destroyed the myth of the so-called Russian army as the second one in the world.
“It would seem unbelievable that we will receive such systems [NATO modern weapons – ed.], but we receive them and will continue to receive them because it helps us to contain the Russian army. And most importantly, we destroyed the myth of the so-called second army in the world, which seemed invincible, and terrible,” emphasized the Minister of Defense of Ukraine.
Oleksiy Reznikov believes that the Russian army abuses its people, and uses “meat grinder” tactics and old Soviet approaches.
“It seems to me that these are the three key things that changed the world, after which it changed. Ukrainians proved that they are a nation of invincibles who managed not only to resist but also to successfully liberate their territories,” concluded the Defense Minister of Ukraine.
