"We are not ready to give up our state and territories. We have already sacrificed many people. They died to save our state. That is why we are responsible to them. Russia first wanted Crimea, then decided to resolve the Donbas issue. Now it is trying to seize Kherson region. We know that their intention is to seize the south of our country.
