He said this on the air of a telethon on January 16.
"Now it is an unrealistic scenario at all... The enemy did not succeed then (February 24, 2022 - ed.) and will not succeed now. Because it will not be possible to fly to the capital and land from IL-76 in any way. I think it will not be possible to fly to the border either," Ihnat said.
According to him, the situation now differs from February 24, when the occupiers made a bold unexpected attack on the outskirts of Kyiv. Now our defenders are ready to meet the enemy with dignity, the Air Force Command spokesman stressed.
