"First Bells": Danilov told how Ukraine was preparing for war with Russia

After the invasion, the Ukrainian military received a trophy map of Pskov paratroopers with the date of issue - February 20. These are given a day before the offensive. Ukraine was ready for a full -scale invasion of Russia, which began on February 24, 2022. The secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Alexei Danilov spoke about the measures taken during the Marathon "Radio Liberty".

He recalled that the war began in 2014, when Russia occupied Crimea, but then the invaders did not repel. Since 2020, Ukrainian intelligence services have actively tracked Russian agents and have been fighting media, which spread propaganda, and shortly before a full -scale invasion of Ukraine in Ukraine introduced a state of emergency. "The first bells began on October 30, 2021," said Alexei Danilov. "We prepared the country for war.

We believed that we did a great job for our society to be ready for war. It was the only one. " The NSDC Secretary added that Ukraine's leadership considered several scenarios of the beginning of the war. Even after the invasion, the Ukrainian soldiers received a map of one part of the Pskov paratroopers, which listed the promotion routes and the date of issue - February 20. As Alexei Danilov explained, such maps are issued to the military day before the combat.

"It was crossed out and then the second date stood: February 22," he said. On February 23, Alexei Danilov commented on the air of the telecast in Mariupol. According to him, now the army of Ukraine has weapons, capable of eating even to the farthest positions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the occupied territories.
