russian secret service: – ukrainians would meet our army with flowers! for sure!
kremlin dick-tator: – army! invade Ukraine!
Ukrainans: – ok….:

„Gvozdika“ (Carnation) 122-mm arty,
„Akacia“ (Acacia) 152-mm arty
„Giatsint“ (Hyacinth) 152-mm arty
„Pion“ (Peony) 203 mm arty
„Tulpan“ (Tulip) 240 mm mortar
