Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Oleksiy Danilov, in an interview with the 1+1 channel, said that the Ukrainian authorities today do not increase the speed of increasing the scale of action against Ukraine, but they record provocations from Russia.
According to Danilov, the purpose of the “provocations” is to force Kiev to “catch powerfully”, and then “blame” the Ukrainian authorities for what they “do not fall out”.
Former Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov declared, which is not believed in the scenario of the capture of Kiev by Russia. At the same time, he pointed out that “an attack is possible” only from the side of Belarus, but on the border with the neighboring republic there are “swamps, thickets, impassable terrain”, so this is also an “apocalyptic scenario”.
Former Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov, on the contrary, named information about a possible “Russian invasion” of an American provocation and stated that the US wants a war to break out between Russia and Ukraine.
