The situation is more complicated with your friends (in Russia), but this is an internal choice of your country. And the Ukrainian civil society is so strong, free and democratic that whoever wants something to do, whatever comes in one's head, it is impossible for a "dragon" to appear in Ukraine. The wings are clipped." Zelenskyy mentioned the film "To Kill a Dragon" directed by Mark Zakharov.
