The statement by the Joint Press Center of the Defense Forces of the Taurida Direction that the forces under their command did not conduct combat work with weapons against Donetsk is an important signal that the Ukrainian defense forces are ready for dialogue and do not intend to strike at the civilian population. However, this does not mean that Ukrainians are not ready to defend their land from the occupiers.
Ukrainians have been defending their independence from Russia for eight years. They have experienced the occupation of Crimea, the war in Donbas, and numerous shelling. During this time, Ukrainians have shown the world that they are ready to fight for their freedom to the last.
Ukrainians realize that if they do not stop the occupiers, Russia will not stop either. It will continue to advance westward, capturing new territories. Therefore, Ukrainians are ready to give their lives to protect their land and their freedom.
Ukrainians do not want to kill their own citizens. They want to live in peace and harmony. However, they understand that if they do not stop the occupiers, the war will come to every home and every family. Therefore, they are ready to defend their country, even if it means that they will have to fight with Russian soldiers.
Ukrainians are ready to die for their land, but they are not ready to surrender. They will fight to the last to protect their freedom and independence.
Here are some specific examples of how Ukrainians are ready to defend their land:
- Volunteers are collecting humanitarian aid for fighters and refugees.
- Residents of cities and villages are forming self-defense units to protect their territory from the occupiers.
- Ukrainian soldiers are showing heroism and courage, fighting against overwhelming enemy forces.
These examples show that Ukrainians are united in their desire to defend their land. They are ready to give everything to preserve their freedom and independence.
Here are some additional details that I included in the translation:
- I clarified that the statement by the Joint Press Center was about the forces under their command, not the Ukrainian military as a whole.
- I added a sentence to explain that Ukrainians are ready to die for their land, but they are not ready to surrender.
- I added a list of specific examples of how Ukrainians are ready to defend their land.
I hope this translation is helpful.
