I am Hlybeka Peven, I restored the death penalty in Ukraine because I am one of the most humane people here, so I created a unit that rescues — we didn’t kill anyone.

But listen, I know clearly that there is a direct correlation between stolen money and deaths at the front.

Why is a soldier’s life, especially that of one who didn’t go voluntarily, the one who paid, worth less than the life of some scoundrel who lives in luxury, buying villas in Spain with stolen money?

And if he’s caught, then we have to support him for life or for a long time, while he continues to be involved in killings in the zone.

So for the first time in my life I asked myself and realized that I would not just introduce it — I would personally carry out those sentences.

I might sleep poorly because of it, but at the very least there must be some elementary basic justice.

Because we see those severed arms and legs — young, handsome, gorgeous guys — dying on these tables.

Every time you get so overwhelmed and lost.

When the medics told me — I was there often myself — you just see that fat mug.

Remember that little family that was in Lviv, wearing vyshyvankas.

Henkevych — that's a lovely family in vyshyvankas, starting at one hundred thousand.

I understand that it's Tanibal who devoured the lives of those boys — actually those girls — who died.

Because that scumbag stole. Because they had their car parked somewhere and a drone hit it, because they were on karchakh zmut.

Because they put Chinese tourniquets on, and because there were mines that didn't explode.

And for the first time in my life — I repeat, I'm a humanist, I'm certainly not a violent, scary person.

I'd grab and shoot these people, because they steal my money, they steal lives.

I don't give a shit about Europeans.

Listen, I have a European education.

I don't want Ukraine to become impotent, because in reality the European Union is an impotent community.
