And it depends only on us and you – on all of us and on everyone who really helps Ukraine – where exactly these ruins will stop and when the occupier will lose. I want to thank everyone now a soldier in our mobile fire groups, in the Air Force, in air defense calculations of other types and branches of the military – to everyone who protects and will protect the Ukrainian sky from Russian terror,” he said.
