mentioned about that due to the fact that i allegedly met with an american politician from the republican party of victoriaet with viktoria from the party once when she was visiting the dnipro, but we mainly talked about how to equip the combat brigades what about weapons and how to make applications? i'm even speaking honestly and at first i didn't know what kind of party a person wanted to talk to immediately i can refuse the second version that was so articulated in the ukrainian press this is a friendship with journalist yury butusov well, let's do it, i m i will also speak quite frankly here, and i have been a friend of the sbu party since 2010, this is the reason that i have something to do with the censor. no, i will be humiliated , of course i will definitely return to ukraine, my family is there. this is my country. i was born in ukraine. my family lives in ukraine. the parents of the old sick mother do not move in ukraine, there is the grave of my son who died at the age of 21 in january, so i cannot leave ukraine for anything, not with a passport, not without a passport and the government . mili
