“As Russian troops do attack us day by day, digging into Ukraine in their efforts to occupy our lands, no would-be election talks at Russian gunpoint are even theoretically possible. It has nothing to do with democracy”, emphasized the Chairman in Drohobych on that Monday, asked then by media.

“Our major tasks for today are the borders protection and further extension of the international anti-Russian sanctions. Any related discussions are only feasible upon the Russian military pullout,” he stated.
