Quotes Russia may have destroyed our Mriya. But they will never be able to destroy our dream of a strong, free and democratic European state. We shall prevail!

To Shell Oil regarding the company's continued use of Russian oil supplies Quoted by Juliette Rowsell in Supply Management (magazine), April-June 2022, page 52 Russia is undoubtedly not capable of waging another full-scale war comparable in size to what it is waging now, the war currently taking place in Ukraine. That is a fact. But let me return to what I was saying. You must be sure of two things. First, that if Russia physically invades your territory, your armed forces will be capable of forcing Russia, at a minimum, to get bogged down in war. You should not assess the strength of your army at parades, but realistically understand — is your country’s army capable of stopping Russia, the Russian army? And second: how ready is the people, the entire population, to rise up and fight the occupier in one form or another? If these two factors are present — if you have a strong army and a population that does not accept the occupier — then Russia will be forced to escalate the scale of the war. And it truly does not have the capacity for that. But for a localized destabilizing operation, Russia will always find the resources, do not doubt that. As quoted in "Interview with Dmytro Kuleba.
