A "demilitarized zone" will be established following the results of Ukraine's war with Russia, but not as the dictator Vladimir Putin desires. It will be located on the territory of the aggressor country, announces Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council.
Danilov comments on Putin's statement that he wants to "create a demilitarized zone" on the territory of Ukraine to "avoid strikes from the Armed Forces of Ukraine."
"This demilitarized zone will extend at least to Moscow, to St. Petersburg; we will definitely advance it. The only place where they can croak is no closer than the Urals. Believe me, it will definitely happen," emphasizes Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council.
He adds that the crimes of the "modern Adolf Hitler (leader of Nazi Germany - Ed.)" will not go unpunished.
According to Danilov, the "demilitarized zone" will follow "completely different parallels and meridians" than Putin would like.
"It will be exactly the territory of the Russian Federation, not Ukraine," he states.
