We have long been in the occupied territory around us, so no possibility Connect the Armed Forces of Ukraine to this battle was not there.
We were very high-qualityly supported artillery, but when it came close to the city, it was decided that artillery around the city would not work. Our artillery on our city does not work, we do not hurt for peaceful inhabitants.
Therefore, a conscious decision was made to replicate our warriors, our terroristure to the armed forces of Ukraine, and the city went to peaceful protest. More than 5 thousand inhabitants expressed their attitude to this: “This is our land, this is our territory – and we ourselves solve our problems here.”

No armed Forces Here: Slavutych fought exclusively by the forces of territorial defense. Support could only be an artillery from afar – and beat on their own homes, they simply couldn’t be done on our own city. We are not doing this anywhere. And there was no weapon to defend them in the city . Therefore, the decision was like this. It was not a compromise with the enemy. We saved our guys, civilians.
From Russians, we did not take any requirements. The only thing they put clearly the question is that they will examine the city for the presence of weapons. The city entered the peaceful protest.
Such the only agreements were: that we are on our land who led, we live according to Ukrainian laws, according to the Ukrainian Constitution, under the Ukrainian flag – no effect on this they do not have and should not have. As for weapons, this is their initiative, today we cannot restrain them from such actions. “
