Parents of Ukrainian military personnel should not worry about their children going to war because death “will still overtake everyone.” This statement was made by Alla Martynyuk, freelance advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Valery Zaluzhny, on the ISLND TV YouTube channel.
“We don’t need this hysteria. We’re all going to die anyway. We are not all infinite. But even if that happens, it is much better to die with dignity than to have a brick fall on you while walking down the street,” Martynyuk said.
He later stated that he faced a wave of hate after this statement and that his statement was misinterpreted.
“I did not encourage parents to send their children to die. “It meant you didn’t have to think about bad things,” he said.
Despite this, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired his freelance deputy after the scandal. “I would like to inform you that I do not have a volunteer assistant consultant as of December 28, 2023,” he wrote.
