According to Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council (NSDC), Oleksiy Danilov, the indecision and fears of Ukraine's Western partners in the confrontation with Russia play into the hands of the Kremlin's criminal leadership.

How the Western partners' indecision convinces Putin to continue aggression against Ukraine

The NSDC Secretary emphasised that currently, the fears of Western partners and their indecision in supporting Ukraine are the main risks that can prevent the achievement of the set goals of destroying the criminal Kremlin regime led by the dictator Vladimir Putin through the final defeat of the occupation army of the Russian Federation.

What is needed for a confident victory in the war unleashed by the Russian Federation

Danilov is convinced that the winner in this confrontation will be the one who rejects fears of the mythical "limitless" resources of the aggressor country and the possibility of the Kremlin mobilising additional millions of people to support the criminal war and nuclear blackmail.

The indecisiveness and half-measures that world democracies can show are our main risks. To injure, but not to kill. This is exactly what Putin's cube is counting on. Let's recall the exhausting and long (when time is worth its weight in gold) discussions about whether Ukraine needs military aircraft in the conditions of a full-scale conventional war, perhaps the offensive can be carried out without tanks, and the defenсe without shells... Therefore, Ukraine and Ukrainians are the first to set an example courage and firmness, to stand our ground and demand the fulfillment of fair demands. And we're ready to go as far as it is necessary. Confrontation of inviolability is the main content of this stage of the war, — notes the secretary of the NSDC.
