“The main question is how the war will end. The war will end with the liberation of Ukrainian lands and the establishment of a sovereign free independent state of Ukraine as an integral part of Europe, the Euro-Atlantic community,” Yusov said in a comment to UNIAN
Regarding the deadlines, he stated: “Of course, we will not talk about calendars, about dates. But the security and defense forces of Ukraine, the entire Ukrainian people are doing everything possible to make this date come as soon as possible.”
Also, when asked what the recent increase in the number of shootings in Ukraine is related to, Yusov stated that the occupiers are also trying to further destroy Ukraine’s civil infrastructure.
“We see that after a deliberate crack and withdrawal from the “grain agreement”, the enemy and state aggressor intensified the shelling of Ukrainian civil infrastructure, specifically ports and grain. In addition, this is a response to the success of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the de-occupation of Ukrainian territories. However, Ukraine continues to liberate its territories and the invaders will not succeed in intimidating Ukraine and Ukrainians,” Yusov emphasized.
Asked if this could be related to the approach of August 24, and what Ukrainians should expect on this day, he stated that “on August 24, we should expect to celebrate (Ukraine’s Independence Day) in extremely difficult conditions, full-scale invasion and war”.
“Nevertheless, the celebration of the restoration of Ukrainian statehood and the independence of the Ukrainian state. Both this year and next year and for many, many years in a row, Ukrainians will celebrate the holiday of independence in their own country. And the enemy will not succeed in spoiling it,” Yusov stressed.
At the same time, he pointed out that one should still be careful and cautious and respond to air alarms. “The security and defense forces are ready to reflect aggression, including terrorist missile strikes, on these days as well. And ready to protect and liberate our land. There should be no panic, but everyone should be careful,” Yusov stressed.
