“This is an event when people have the opportunity to pay tribute and respect to their army. When the army enjoys the greatest confidence of the people, I think that to deprive people of this would not be very far-sighted, ”RIA Novosti cites Poroshenko’s words.
However, he noted that Zelensky has every right to decide whether to hold a parade or not.
Earlier, Zelensky canceled a military parade on the occasion of Independence Day on August 24 because of its high cost. In exchange, the leader offered to allocate 300 million hryvnias as bonuses to Ukrainian soldiers.
