A spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy said it is constantly ready for possible Russian attacks, regardless of the date. The military expects any “surprises” from the enemy on Christmas, which this year is officially celebrated on December 25.
The Navy is always ready, no matter if it is Christmas or another date. This was stated by Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk during a telethon and stressed that the Ukrainian side expects any "surprises" from the enemy, UNN reports .
Pletenchuk commented on what "surprises" can be expected from Russians at Christmas.
"In fact, it doesn't matter to us what date it is... The Russian dictator has a rule about dates, they usually tie themselves to dates, and we are always ready and always preparing. Therefore, I cannot say that something is changing for us in particular, no, the duties have been and are still taking place. We expect any "surprises" from our enemy," Pletenchuk said.
Addendum
In Ukraine, celebrating Christmas on December 25 has already become an official tradition. This was done to bring Ukraine closer to the Western Christian tradition and support the European vector of the country's development.
