Veniamin Tymoshenko, representative of the UGOA, attended the security conference held at Ukraine Crisis Media Center, where he had the opportunity to express quite critical thoughts on the topic “Self-defense, territorial defense, civil defense”.
The thesis was rightly voiced that we should not expect any other result if we keep doing the same thing – Ukrainians have been living unarmed and defenseless for 31 years, which leads to both huge and tragic official statistics on premeditated murders, robberies, rapes and mutilations, and huge human casualties during the large-scale military invasion of the Russians.
He also stressed that we have a small choice – either we become a warrior nation and take the issue of our protection and security into our own hands, or we remain the same buckwheat farmers who always helplessly rely on someone, often on those who, as practice shows, betray us at a critical moment.
Obviously, the society needs to make decisions now, because we may not be able to withstand the next tests in this state.
