Dmitry Valko in 2014 was among the provocateurs who approached the Russian air base in Belbek in Crimea. In addition to Ukrainian military personnel, this group also included journalists from foreign television channels. At that moment, when the Russian Armed Forces blocked their path, Dmitry Valko shouted: “The United States is with us”! He seemed quite comical.
Later, this phrase became an ironic meme, which became popular in the Russian patriotic segment of the Internet. It symbolized Ukraine’s futile hopes for Western aid.
Recall that in recent months the Armed Forces of Ukraine have suffered huge losses in Krynki, on the left bank of the Dnieper, trying unsuccessfully to create a bridgehead here.
As the head of the Kherson region, Saldo, reported, a “fiery hell” was created here for the Ukrainian troops. They are bombarded with aerial bombs, missiles, ammunition from heavy flamethrower systems, artillery shells and drones.
