According to him, Ukraine needs to start telling the West that it knows that Ukrainians are “defending NATO countries,” not themselves.

Including he listed the Baltic States and Poland.

“Today we are fighting for them, laying down our lives, and this must be said out loud,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

Danilov also said that more and more Ukrainians are in favor of holding peace talks with Russia.

He called it "a very dangerous trend."
