Geletey: The operation to free the Donbas from militants is complete, we must defend against Russia.

Defense Minister believes that Russia lost the war hybrid Ukraine and has already unofficially Russians threatened to use tactical nuclear weapons.

"Russia has lost the hybrid war Ukraine. Our Armed Forces confidently pressed the Russian gang of mercenaries, saboteurs and commandos destroyed. This is why the Kremlin was forced to go to a full-scale invasion of their regular troops in Donbass. Today we are dealing with the divisions and regiments. Tomorrow it may be the body "- said the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Geletey.
He noted that the operation to liberate Ukraine from East terrorists over. "We urgently need to build a defense against Russia, which is not only trying to gain a foothold in areas previously occupied by terrorists, but also to advance to other areas of Ukraine," - said the Minister of Defence.

He believes that the country has come a war that Europe has not seen since the Second World War. In such a war, the loss will be calculated not hundreds, but tens of thousands. "According to unofficial sources, the Russian side has repeatedly threatened that if they continue the resistance, they are ready to use against us tactical nuclear weapons. To survive, we need the full consolidation of all available forces," - he stressed. According to the Minister of Defense, calls for the removal from the post of Chief of General Staff of the Russian Federation Muzhenko is a provocation because, according to the minister, it was Muzhenko "Ukrainian architect wins the East." "It was he who planned and carried out a brilliant operation to the actual release of Ukrainian Donbass. Were it not for the Russian invasion we would inevitably have completed the active phase of ATO in early October, freeing the entire territory. Personnel changes should be aimed at strengthening, not weakening of the army. For the last week of his command were removed 6 senior officers. in their place put young commanders who have proven their ability in battles, "says the report.
Geletey believes that Ukraine should demonstrate readiness to repel an aggressor. "Russia has already paid a heavy price for the invasion. Hundreds of Russian soldiers and officers all have found refuge in the Ukrainian chernozem. Critical number of losses inevitably sober Russia. But for this we must abandon the alarmism and show that Ukrainians are not going to give up. This - our Great Patriotic war and we are in it will certainly win, "- concluded the Minister in his address.
