However, the aggressor did not count on force, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry emphasizes.
The goal of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the war he has organized is to seize all of Ukraine, but it is unattainable, said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba in an interview with The Economist .
“ According to our analysis, Putin's plan remains the same. He literally does not recognize Ukraine's right to exist. He does not recognize Ukrainian identity. His goal is not another strip of Ukrainian territory, “the minister said.
According to him, if the real goal of the war was only the land corridor to the Crimea and control over the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, it would not be worth the losses that Russia has suffered since the first days of the invasion (sanctions and thousands of Russian soldiers killed).
“In the last three weeks, it has become very clear that the goal he set for himself in the beginning is unattainable. Ukraine will remain as it is. The only success he has achieved so far in terms of strategy is the slowdown in our development. When the war is over, it will take us years to rebuild the country, our position in world markets and get back on track, ”Kuleba said.
