Podolyak voiced one of the main mistakes of Ukrainians in the first hours of the invasion of the Russian Federation

"In my opinion, one of the key mistakes, when intense invasion began, but no one - neither our citizens nor the military, nor we as governing bodies - could believe that this happened in the 21st century and happened to us. On February 24, we were not psychologically ready to blow up bridges, for example, "he said. Video of the day according to Podolyak, the situation changed in the evening of February 24.

“The first few hours thought: we put money in comfort for people, how to destroy all this now? Here is this slowness then I consider a fundamental mistake. However, at 6:00 pm, I already saw in his eyes a determination: for the protection of the country, we will destroy everything with these rusty Russian tanks. We thought that on the other side are people that they would be careful about houses, bridges and other infrastructure, ”he said.

“In general, when all doubts were rejected, the most cruel destruction of infrastructure elements began. It is necessary to destroy - to destroy, the main thing is to destroy the same amount of technique of the enemy and it. We quickly figured out what a horde was in front of us, ”Podolyak added. He also noted, the authorities made strategic, information and personnel mistakes. "You want to find strategic mistakes.

But in my opinion, today to say that Ukraine has allowed them, the tactical, situational, some information - yes. Personnel mistakes are also, of course. One thing is to work in peacetime, another - in another - in military. If it is evident that a person is not coping with the crisis, is in a depressed state, that is, he is not ready to make decisions and take responsibility, it should be lost faster, ”Podolyak summed up.
