"It could be such a kind of indirect signal that Russia wants to take control of the whole territory of Ukraine. Although this does not mean that a widespread war will begin tomorrow. And this is a peculiar pressure on Ukraine, blurring our identity. Therefore, they want to show that Ukraine is nothing but a piece of the Soviet Union, which accidentally broke off," he said.

According to the expert, the explanation that these names were allegedly given "in order to preserve historical military traditions" and in memory of the participation of these units in the liberation of Ukrainian cities during the Second World War are illogical and absurd. "And why then did the regiments not get these names before? Typically, military units received names immediately after the end of the Second World War, after a certain period of time when they finally formed when their history was written out. What now? Already there is no Soviet Union", - Martyniuk said.
