Mikhail Podolyak, Advisor to the Presidential Office (Photo: Presidential Office of Ukraine / Facebook) On the eve of Independence Day, which is likely to expected the exacerbation of the war, Radio NV spoke with the adviser to the Presidential Head Mikhail Podolyak about the cruelty of the Russian Federation and the response of Ukraine to it.

In an interview, he told how Russian dictator Vladimir Putin is desperately looking for paths of negotiations and why at this stage Ukraine cannot agree to them, as well as about Alexander Lukashenko and a "fatal" decision for him. Video Day - On the eve of Independence Day, the country has tensed. From the Russians you can expect anything you have informed about. And President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that the Russian Federation can do something particularly cruel.

What can it be? - Only one can expect from the Russians - violations of the rules of war and attacks of civilians. This is the first. Second. Of course, they are a little archaic people, so 23,24,25 [August] will be attached to the Independence Day, which we traditionally spent these days and will try to press us psychologically, at the expense, in my opinion, a possible increase in the number shelling of rockets of different range of the territory of Ukraine, in particular the city of Kyiv.

The third is the key. It should be understood that when we hear the siren, not to make bravado, but to go down to the place where you can move this time. - And we will try to squeeze the invaders psychologically? Looking at what is happening in Crimea, it seems to me. - We have already pressed. We work. It is a great intensity of war, and it does not happen to one side. So the Russians thought that they could go, behave with impunity, offset our people and so on. But no.

With such intensity of war, especially since it is going for half a year, everything will only increase, I mean the reaction, not only in the Crimea, but in all occupied places where the Russian army is today. So psychologically it looks different today. For example, we are ready for this arbitrariness of the "Russian world", we understand what type of war they are leading.

But, on the other hand, they were psychologically not ready for what is happening in the Crimea today, or even in Kherson, Zaporizhzhya regions, or even in Donetsk, Lugansk. They thought they would kill us with impunity, and they would sit and wait for it to end, but only so that they would not be injured.
