Oleksiy Danilov: Russia is conducting a powerful special information operation against Ukraine and its military and political leadership

russia is conducting a powerful information campaign against Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov stated this on-air at the national telethon on August 26, this year.

According to him, one of the narratives promoted by propaganda is that the world is supposedly tired of the war in Ukraine. "This is not true. The whole civilized world supports us in our unity and integrity", - he said.

The NSDC Secretary also emphasized that the government has been working as a single team since the first day of the large-scale russian invasion, and every day during a week, the Head of State chairs meetings and working sessions with the participation of key representatives of the security and defense sector, where important decisions are worked out.

Answering the question, the NSDC Secretary stressed that the current war cannot be "frozen" in any case, because the russian federation will encroach on our land sooner or later anyway.

"In this war, each country has its own interests, but it is necessary to prevent the conditional "Minsk-3", our society will not accept this", - he said, adding that the conditions of both "Minsk-1" and "Minsk-2" were absolutely unacceptable for Ukraine.

According to him, "someone is helping us, someone believes that we need to come to an agreement with putin", because a difficult winter is ahead, and today gas prices have already increased significantly. "Our citizens give their lives, the price paid by Ukrainians as a nation is very expensive for us", - Mr. Danilov said.

"It's about all Europe now. Ukraine is a frontier, and if we had not repelled russian aggression on February 24, their tanks would have already been in Warsaw, Vilnius, and other European cities", - Mr. Danilov noticed.
