According to Ostash Radio NV, the first such battle was the crisis around Tuzla Island in 2003. “I then headed this commission as a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. Then there was the first bell.

It was an attempt to check if we could respond to attempts to capture the Ukrainian territory. And we need to pay tribute to all the politicians who then participated in this repel - we made it lightning and the Russians retreated. It was our first victory, ”the diplomat said. He called the Orange Revolution in 2004, when Russia tried to take control of the candidacy in Viktor Yanukovych's presidential election. "But we also won this second battle," Ostash said.

The third battle against Russia called the Dignity Revolution 2013–2014, when Ukrainians “won another battle against Putin”. “I think Putin perceives this war very personally, through the prism of all the defeat he received, trying to win part or Ukraine as a whole. He still dreams that it is possible. But we have already shown the whole world that we will be able to protect Ukraine and Putin will never rule here, ”he summed up.
