“Шановні друзі, (Dear friends,)

Наливайченко пішов. (Nalyvaichenko has left.)

Зраджений усіма (!) в кращих традиціях українського політикумуусіма, але не переможений... (Betrayed by everyone (!) in the best traditions of the Ukrainian political establishment, by everyone, but not defeated...)

Усіма, але не вами, дорогі друзі!:) (By everyone, but not by you, dear friends!))

Я йду разом з ним з посади радника Голови СБУ. (I am leaving with him from the position of Advisor to the Head of the SBU.)

Дякую усім вам, друзі, за комунікацію, підтримку і співпрацю! (Thank you all, friends, for the communication, support, and cooperation!)

Поки - пити каву!:) Ну а далі побачимо!”, - wrote Lubkyvskyi. (For now - drinking coffee!:) Well, we shall see what happens next!)
