“Putin wants to destroy our country. Will he succeed? No, he won’t … Our citizens will defend our country,” Danilov said.
According to him, both the army and civilians will form a broad national “resistance” movement in the event of a Russian attack.
“We will defend our country. And that’s the point,” Danilov said.
In turn, he called on the West to provide Ukraine with more military assistance, as well as to apply preventive sanctions against the Russian Federation.
“When our country is destroyed, against whom do you intend to impose sanctions?” Danilov stressed.
The NSDC secretary noted that “issue number one” is the provision of Ukraine with defensive weapons.
He also warned Western partners against making decisions on Ukraine with Russia.
“Whatever the result of these negotiations, it will not work if the Ukrainians do not accept it. We are not Russia. It is impossible to bring everyone to their knees, because great people decided for us,” Danilov added.
