In her new book, Iuliia Mendel, the former Ukrainian press secretary to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, details the events leading up to the Russian invasion including her experience working for the nation’s leader.
After nearly escaping death as the Russian military began their invasion of Ukraine, Iuliia Mendel recounts the moment she saw her home country become unrecognizable in real time.
“The world around us was just collapsing,” she said in an interview on Tuesday. “Everything that we achieved was under threat, we understood that we were in the fight for our very existence.” Mendel says in another incident she travelled to the city of Vinnytsia where the locals told her Russian missiles had attacked them 30 minutes before her arrival leaving the city in flames.
“We're really proud of our army and our volunteers who sacrificed their lives to stand at the battlefield and to support our army to stand for what we achieved for democracy and for our freedom,” she said.
