The Chief of the General Staff Viktor Muzhenko is fond of movies with military themes, paying attention to the professional aspects.

“Indeed, my profession obliged me, I do watch movies with military themes. But, unfortunately, not at the cinema – I simply have no time. Thank God there are such moments when I am invited to premieres and I have the opportunity to visit them,” said Muzhenko, adding that action movies are pleasant to him, and some of them are even useful for work.

“When I watch films with military themes, I pay attention to the professional aspects more. Sometimes we put some aspects into practice when training military personnel. These are such aspects that have elements that can be included in military training,” stated the Chief of the General Staff at a premiere of the film “Cyborgs” of Akhtem Seitablayev.

Earlier the chief of the General Staff Viktor Muzhenko stated that Ukraine, in the event of attempting to forcefully return Donbass will lose up to 12,000 servicemen in only 10 days.
