"Readiness to die and willingness to kill": Zaluzhny on the two most important decisions for a Ukrainian soldier

Former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ambassador of Ukraine to Britain Valeriy Zaluzhny spoke at the opening of a new educational space - the Ukrainian School of Management, where, in particular, he spoke about two of the most important decisions that Ukrainian soldiers must make.

"The true face of war: what it really is. And in fact, we are again talking about freedom and choice. So, war is a choice to make two important decisions. The first decision is not to be afraid. Not to be afraid to die. And that means being ready for self-sacrifice. ... But dying for Ukraine, your people is not enough. You need to make a second decision, also very difficult. ... you must be ready to kill. ... for Ukraine, for its land, for the people, for your own family," Zaluzhny noted.
