National Security and Defense Council Secretary Oleksiy Danilov denied Biden’s statements that President Volodymyr Zelensky ignored the warning that Russia would invade Ukraine in February.
Oleksiy Danilov said that preparations for the war in Ukraine began early. He said this in an interview with LIGA.net, published on June 18.
“Everything the Americans said about the war did not surprise us. We started preparing for the war early. We realized that we needed to remove the influence of the Russian Federation as much as possible. Imagine if it was all until February 24th. media gauleiters shouting from propaganda channels, are on the air of our television.Imagine that Medvedchuk is not sitting at home with a bracelet on his leg, but continues to work with his agents.Imagine that we are not paying attention to our cyber defense and communications. And on February 25, there was no television, radio broadcasting, you couldn’t call … A year and a half we were preparing for all communications to be protected. During the war, this was the number one issue, ” he said.
According to Danilov, it is impossible to report in advance on the upcoming war.
“We were supposed to come out in November and say: we will have a war, the Russian Federation will build concentration camps here? Do you think the level of fear could rise? But we gave a clear answer to our country be ready for war, ”he added.
At the same time, according to the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council, the leadership of Ukraine “really wants the Belarusians not to betray us and the Russian troops will not come from their territory,” but this did not happen.
“On February 22, Reznikov talked to the Minister of Defense of Belarus, and he assured: don’t think, we are just training. On February 23, our chief border guard, General Deineko, talked to the chief guard on the border with Belarus, he said: Sergey Vasilyevich, don’t think about it.A week later, we had exercises on the border, the Belarusians sent an observer.It was not pleasant for us when the troops were coming from Belarus, ”Danilov said.
Recall that former US President Joe Biden said that President Zelensky ignored his warnings about Russia’s impending invasion in February 2022. Biden said this at a political fundraiser in Los Angeles.
Recall that a week before the aggression began, Zelensky said that statements about the date of a possible Russian aggression were only causing losses for Ukraine. He also urged not to panic in relation to a possible Russian invasion.
