Ukraine's youngest MP: "If we can survive Stalin, we can survive Putin"

Ukrainians were determined to keep fighting Russia's assault on the capital

Sviatoslav Yurash, Ukraine's youngest member of parliament, said on Tuesday he and other Ukrainians were determined to keep fighting Russia's assault on the capital Kyiv, Qazet.az reports.

"My great grandfather survived Stalingrad, so I think we can survive whatever they throw at us," he said, speaking from Kyiv. "We had an unfortunate, tragic, unbelievable history in the 20th century. So if we survive Stalin, we can survive Putin."

 He described life in Kyiv as having changed "immensely," as citizens brace themselves for the Russian attack.

People are exchanging goods instead of money, he said. His neighborhood is quiet and empty, while military recruitment stations are full.

“But supplies such as food and ammunition are running low,” he said.

 So he and his team spend their time organizing supplies, distributing food, providing weaponry and medicine, and “trying to be useful in the defense of our capital,” he said.
