Danilov: we have withstood the first, difficult wave of attack by Russian invaders, and will be ready for the second

Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksii Danilov says that Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mariupol, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, and Odesa remain strategically important

Danilov wrote about this on Facebook, Rubryka reports.

"We withstood the first, most difficult wave of attacks by Russian orcs. The myth of Putin's most modern and powerful army in the world was destroyed and burned on the roads of Kyiv and Kharkiv regions, the Chernihiv region, and the Mykolayiv region.

In no direction have Russian terrorist forces achieved strategic success. The Ukrainian army is giving a decent rebuff, and the day of our victory over the Russian chimera is approaching every day.

But the enemy is still dangerous and is preparing a second wave of large-scale offensive, which we must approach as ready and united as possible."

He noted that the cities of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Mariupol, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, and Odesa remain strategically important.

"The enemy's plan is to take key cities around, to bleed the Ukrainian Armed Forces, to create a situation of humanitarian catastrophe for the civilian population.

The main focus of the Russian occupation forces is shifting to the South, trying to deprive Ukraine of access to the Black and Azov Seas, which, in their opinion, will create conditions for economic suppression of the Ukrainian Resistance, Danilov said.

According to him, the enemy does not give up hope to capture Kyiv and creates resources for the encirclement of Dnipro.

On the part of Ukraine, there is a regrouping, replenishment of fresh reserves, and saturation of the Ukrainian army with the latest weapons. The helicopter crash on March 5 confirmed that Danilov stressed.

"We have taken the most difficult step towards victory, but there is still a lot of work to be done to destroy the occupiers and return all Ukrainian lands!

Funerals for Russian mothers and tons of charred Russian military iron are a reminder of the next wave of occupiers: don't come, we'll kill!

And we will kill so much that the intoxicated Russian society will wake up, if not from guilt, then from pain.

And we reach out to you. Never fight with the Ukrainians, sooner or later we will come to you to repay all the debts you have accumulated, and the bill has run for centuries," summed up the Secretary of the Council.
