"Strategically, Russia has no chance of winning... And we need to hold on so that at the tactical levels the terrorist state feels its loss. We need to hold on - in the south, in the east and everywhere. Hold on in defense, in diplomacy, in politics. Maintain our unity and not only before the victory, but also after it, in order to qualitatively restore everything destroyed by the invaders. I believe that we will do all this,” the head of the Ukrainian wrote in a messenger.
