Oleksiy Danilov: Some think about Korean variant for Ukraine, but this will not happen

“Today, there is a lot of ‘undercover’ work of some figures who will seek to offer us a variant of North Korea and South Korea, the so-called 38th parallel,” Oleksiy Danilov, secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, told Report.

“According to our Constitution, it is single, unitary and will remain so. We will liberate all our territories, including Crimea, and drive out all the Russian evil spirits that have invaded our land. To do this, the Medvedchuks (followers of pro-Kremlin Ukrainian politician), members of the Opposition Platform – For Life Party, the internal front, who here call themselves political technologists, have already been raised. Now they are trying to deal with these issues, to talk about them. I can say - this will not happen, we will not go for it. Our society will never agree to the division of the country. According to our Constitution, it is single, unitary and will remain so,” he said.

“They really wanted to take Bakhmut before October last year, before Putin’s birthday, but they did not succeed. In February, they increased their armament, the military in this direction, because they chose a date and this has a symbolic meaning for them. Yes, the situation there is difficult. We have meetings of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief twice or thrice a week, and for the last three months we have begun meetings with the situation in Bakhmut, because it is as important to us as other settlements in our country. Even if for some reason the servicemen decide that we should take a step back in order to advance three steps later, we will do it,” Danilov told Report.
