“The army is not about dying.” The Hero of Ukraine stressed the need to “break the template” to cultivate patriotism

“Patriotic education and tuning of boys motivation have a very great influence. Because a motivated soldier is better than ten unmotivated. … Before educating young people, I would probably have to overcome these to the Russian Federation, which are now in our Infopol. These videos that have recently been released as a TCC employee rolled in the hood. And everyone began to write approving comments, ”Ponomarenko said Radio NV.

Hero of Ukraine called for a stop “To perceive the military as a one -time glass or a bag. “

“If a person enters the army, then he does not have to die there. She also wants and has to go back to her family. And to allow this person to return to their family, this person has someone to replace. It cannot be such that 10 people will pull instead of 100 all war. And the Tax Code simply does its job, ”he said.

Ponomarenko stated that Ukrainians at a young age would not accept the education of patriotism, “when the child grows on this” scoundrels, delayed in the army, want everyone to be destroyed. “

“The child will not accept it. Because she immediately has the impression: “Ah, I am taught how to die.” No-no, you need to break the template. The army is not about dying. The army is about surviving and protecting. And then a completely different perception will be in young people, and a completely different efficiency from their preparation, training, ”said the Hero of Ukraine.

He expressed the opinion that childhood learning because you have to die for the Motherland is an element of psychological training in the Russians, and called on to leave this element of Russia.

“I always said, I say and I will say that the most valuable is the life of a serviceman, a soldier. If there is a living soldier, then you perform any task with him. If not, then it will be done with anyone. A cool planned plan, combination, operation will be failed because no one. Once one of my brothers said that I was ready to give my life for the sake of my brothers. And I told him, “No, Romo, you are very deeply mistaken. You have to be ready to live in contrary to all circumstances, but to live and put your shoulder support for your brother. That’s where the benefit will be. And if you die, then no good will be any of you. ” And here is the big difference, the main, the key, ”Ponomarenko explained.

According to a survey conducted by the sociological group rating on December 5–6, 2024, 67% of Ukrainians do not trust the TCC servicemen.
