Russia understands only language of force, fears western unity - Podolyak

The only language Russia understands is that of force so Ukraine needs more weapons to defeat it.

That’s according to Mykhailo Podolyak, the advisor to the head of the Ukrainian President’s Office.

“Having tasted the blood of Europe once, Russia’ll try to drink it all. By intimidating, humiliating and robbing. The only language Russia understands is the language of force. Their greatest fear is our unity. The only way to win is to have weapons. The good must be able to defend itself,” Podolyak tweeted on Thursday.

As reported earlier, Ukraine’s Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov has called on western powers to speed up arms supplies to Ukraine.

"We have proved that we have no fear of the Kremlin, unlike many others. But we, as a country, cannot afford to bleed out, losing our best sons and daughters," Reznikov said.
