Putin’s ultimate goal is to 'destroy Ukraine', foreign minister says
Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba says Russian president Vladimir Putin’s ultimate goal is to “destroy Ukraine” and “no sanctions will be enough” until Russian forces withdraw from Ukrainian soil.
During an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Kubela said:
His ultimate goal is to destroy Ukraine. He’s not interested in parts of
Ukraine. He is not interested in even keeping the entire country under his control.
What I know for certain, and this was eloquently proved, regretfully, in his address yesterday, is that he hates [the] Ukrainian statehood, he believes that Ukraine has no right to exist.
Putin “wants the idea of the Ukrainian statehood to fail. This is his objective,” Kubela added.
