That’s according to Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, who spoke with the Ukrainian Pravda online newspaper, Ukrinform reports.
"Personally, I really wanted to not believe in this invasion that started on February 24. I realized it would happen, but I didn't want to believe it would. So I may not believe it will happen, but it still may. We have to be prepared for that," Danilov said.
According to the top security official, the health care system today is more or less ready for different scenarios. However, the question is about scale and territory – that’s if the enemy does employ chemical weapons.
