The governor of the Donetsk area, Vadym Filashkin, stated to News that his troops would not permit this to occur and would use “every possible means, including impossible means,” to drive the Russian invaders out.
When asked what would happen to Ukraine and the rest of the world if Russia took over all of the Donbas, Mr. Filashkin replied, “The enemy will move onwards.” The enemy will penetrate further into our nation’s center if, God forbid, this occurs.
“We won’t stand for this, and we’ll do all within our power to keep the enemy in this area.
He was alluding to the moment when Ukraine separated from the Soviet Union at that time.
