“Using Forces of Ukrainian patriots, we must prevent any enemy action on our territory. If a Russian soldier’s boots will trample our land, we will do everything that the occupier would pay dearly for it. We remember that Russia is making money, transporting oil and gas to the West through our tube – so we will destroy the tube, depriving the enemy of the source of funding, “- he said in a statement.

Also, it says: “We are still hopeful that a potential conflict with Russia will be solved by diplomatic means.”
