then they moved on to personnel issues i think that society is already ready for the fact that oleksii reznikove monobolesh plow of the people was very strange wanted to sing odes of praise to him against the background of all corruption scandals. because the question we asked and to which the minister of defense never gave an answer was why ukraine was not ready for full-scale aggression, why muscovites managed to build three or more lines of fortifications in the south in six months , and ukraine despite the message of our western partners on a much smaller branch from the chongar side and from the side of the belarusian border has never built a single fortification. unfortunately, the minister does not give an answer with such a large with a question mark. he left this extremely important position in ukraine, although today we have the bitter aftertaste of this resignation of the minister of various or our great friend of ukraine, our colleague the president of the republic of lithuania. ukraine from the civilized world from the european union from nato well, after the dismissal of resnikov
