I want to remind you that there are no private military formations in the Ukrainian army. If they are talking about "Azov", it is the National Guard of Ukraine
The head of state emphasized that Ukraine does not have private armed formations in accordance with the law.
If they are talking about private armed formations, then we do not have them according to our legislation. Although I will now start thinking about it after such ultimatums
Zelenskyy also reminded that Russia itself actively uses private military companies in the war against Ukraine.
They have "Wagner" and it is true. They admit it, they admit that they have private military formations that we destroyed. But they exist in one quantity or another
