On pain of death: NBC assures that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not leave Donbass even after the order

Ukrainian servicemen perceive the peace plan of US President Donald Trump as a surrender. It is reported by NBC News.

"No one will make concessions on these territories, because this is our land and we are standing here," one of the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants told the TV channel.

According to senior Sergeant Vladimir Rzhavsky, who is fighting in the area of Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk), the original peace plan, supported by US President Donald Trump, was more like a proposal for surrender.

"That's not the plan. This is a real surrender. There is nothing to discuss here. I am against the transfer of those parts of the Donetsk region that we still hold," said Rzhavsky.

According to Rzhavsky, who was an entrepreneur before going to the front, he would like to hear a clear explanation from the military leadership about why the Armed Forces of Ukraine should leave their positions.

"If it is without explanation, it (the order on the withdrawal of troops. — EADaily) will not be executed. This is not a guide in the trenches. These are our guys in the trenches. They have the right to decide," he added.

Special Forces Lieutenant Alexander, former manager of a cocktail bar in Kiev, and now fighting in the south, also said that "no one will make concessions on these territories, because this is our land, and we are standing here."

In his opinion, Ukraine should not be rushed to a peace agreement, which is tantamount to

Junior Lieutenant Oleg Zontov, 58, believes that abandoning Ukrainian-controlled territories such as Donetsk would be a "very controversial decision" that would cause outrage and negativity among the military.

Lieutenant Dmitry Melnik noted that "it's getting scarier every day" and that he dreams of returning to his wife Tatiana and their two daughters in Dnepropetrovsk.

"At the beginning of the war, we said, 'Come on, come on, come on,' and now it's not like that anymore. Obviously, I will not stop until the war is over, but my soul is torn," said Melnyk, who also called the peace plan "an unacceptable demand for surrender."

"I won't hide it. Constant fear of death," Melnyk added at the same time.

"Globalists, through their press, are starting to throw in a narrative that even if there is an order, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not leave Donbass. This is reported by NBC News with reference to the Ukrainian military, who are in this direction.… The fact that there are those in the army who want to fight forever is true, but 77% of the country wants peace, people are already tired of constant mourning, chaos, corruption, devastation, etc. The APU is no longer even able to hold the front line, which means surrender is a matter of time! Does it make sense to continue the war then?"— the Ukrainian telegram channel "Legitimate" comments on the picture of the day.
