Never believe in Russia, first of all, and they always have some explanation, but the main goal is to occupy Kyiv.

Stay with Ukraine. Thank you very much for support, support Ukraine, with our friends, we are stronger. It is our future, it is our freedom. We are ready to fight for that, but we need support from whole democratic world.
This is our hometown, we fight -- we never go to the knee. We don't want to be slaves. We don't want back to USSR to live in dictator, to live in terrorism. We see our country as modern European democratic country.
I don't care about me. I care if the citizens give me the rights to defend the interest of people in my hometown.
The spirit right now, everyone is angry. I talk to the people, they don’t want to leave. They want to defend. Defend our city.
That`s what Russians war against the civilians look like. Destroyed buildings, destroyed infrastructure. City bus just got hit with a rocket. Lives are being lost. That`s the war that Russia started. That`s the city of Kyiv. And many…
Make no mistake about it. Kyiv is the prize. And the goal here is to surround the city, bombard it and then potentially try to overthrow the government from outside.
We need the weapons. We're ready to defend our country. We stayed up front of one of the powerful army in the world. And that's why we need the planes also very much.
