First President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk stated that he did not regret his words about readiness meet the invaders with weapons in their hands and open fire.
The head of the country’s delegation to Tripartite Contact Group explained on the air of the TV channel “Ukraine 24“on Wednesday, April 14. The host of the program noted that the Russian media massively disseminated the politician’s statement. The journalist asked Kravchuk if he regretted what he said.
“I don’t regret it. I’m not the only one who said this, perhaps millions of people think so. I am convinced that every Ukrainian in such a difficult time for Ukraine is at the same time a defender, a patriot, a citizen.
Take the same Switzerland. Every family has a weapon. And it can be used to protect their land and people, “the first president replied.
At the same time, Kravchuk admitted that he “exaggerated a little”, because his “age is no longer shooting.”
“But recently I took part in various competitions, at least there was no such case that I missed the target. I mean by this – not because I have great forces and I can defend Ukraine, – I once again confirmed that every Ukrainian must defend his land, and the enemies of Ukraine must be expelled from Ukraine so that they don’t smell like their spirit here, “Kravchuk said.
