Translated from Russian by Tom Winter
Turchinov says that Russia would not last four days in a war with Ukraine
Alexander Turchinov, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, has responded to the statement by the Speaker of the State Duma of Russia Sergei Naryshkin, who said that if Russia were to enter into a military conflict with Ukraine, it wouldn't last four days.
On his social network page Turchynov wrote that fighting with a country like Ukraine, Russia would not last four days.
Translator note:
The interesting thing about this item is not the Turchinov boast, but the plain implication of it: In taking the bait from Naryshkin with this countering boast, Yurchinov admits that Russia is not, and has not been, at war with Ukraine. Not what Poroshenko has been telling the West!
