Many accuse the Ukrainian authorities of not warning that a war will start in February . However, hostilities on the territory of Ukraine have been going on for 8 years, not 6 months.
This is Channel 24 said NSDC Secretary Oleksiy Danilov. He added that the phrase “they didn't warn” is now very inflated in Ukrainian society.
The war has been going on for 8 years
“I want to warn everyone that we have been in a state of war since February 2014,” Danilov emphasized.
The Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council also noted that no one expected hostilities to the extent that they began on February 24. For Ukraine, it was a challenge, when the Russians climbed in from all sides, from all the cracks.
We withstood this challenge with the highest quality, he noted.

Danilov said that the fact that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky remained in Kyiv played a very important role.
“No matter how much he was offered to change his place of deployment, it was a courageous step. When the entire leadership of the country is in Kyiv, this is very important,” the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council emphasized.
Soon we will expel all the infidels
According to Danilov, we courageously hold the defense for 180 days, and sometimes go on the counteroffensive. People need to wait a little longer to see the results that our Armed Forces and all representatives of the security and defense sector are preparing.
What we showed now in the Crimea, the Russians could not even imagine in their worst dreams. They did not expect that explosions would be heard on the territory of the peninsula. And not only in one place, at the airfield near Sakov, but also in other places near Kerch, Feodosia, etc. – summed up the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council.
Danilov answered “they didn't warn”: watch the video
