Quote: “Wanted for alleged terrorism in Russia? This is a total farce! When Russians are killing our innocent children and women, and orchestrating acts of terrorism throughout our innocent country, I don’t give a damn about these loudmouths they’ve set against me. I had no intention of ever going to that f*cking Russia. I don’t know what to call that country – everyone there is a terrorist who has directly or indirectly attacked our country. I would really like them all to be destroyed! So that this country no longer exists!
I really want our boys to capture Kursk and then I’d go to that city. I lived there till I was fourteen. I’ve always wanted to visit it again. Kursk is Ukraine! I wish all of our boys safe skies above them and good health. Keep moving forward, guys!” Aliyev said.
In the early days of the full-scale invasion, Oleksandr served in Kyiv’s territorial defence before joining the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He even received a certificate of his participation in the hostilities.
