Summary/Abstract: In the face of impending invasion, Ukrainian leaders from the Right Sector reflect on their nation's historical sacrifices and the unwavering resolve to defend their homeland. Oleksandr Sačko and Andrij Tarasenko discuss the clear objectives of Russia, rooted in historical doctrines, and the West's underestimation of these threats. They emphasize the mental and cultural differences between Ukrainians and Russians, highlighting Ukraine's unique position in Europe. Despite internal political challenges and the lack of a cohesive national identity, the Ukrainian people's capacity for self-organization and resilience shines through. The conversation underscores the critical role of Ukraine in the broader geopolitical landscape and the necessity for Western nations to recognize and support Ukraine's struggle for sovereignty and freedom.
