Zelensky: Ukraine is the starting point for Russia to attack Europe.
The president of Ukraine claimed that Russia may use Ukraine as a starting point to attack European countries.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy claimed on Tuesday that Russia may use Ukraine as a starting point to attack European countries.
He continued his words: “Russia sees the territory of our country as a foothold to take other European countries. This means that ensuring the security of Ukraine means providing long-term security for all of Europe.”
Russia ordered a military attack on Ukraine from the 5th of Esfand (February 24). This development occurred a few days after Moscow officially recognized the independence of the republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in eastern Ukraine. Russian President Vladimir Putin announced the goal of his country’s military operations to “demilitarize Ukraine” and “de-Nazify” this country.
Russia has also announced that Ukraine has not fulfilled its obligations under the Minsk agreements that were reached in 2014 and 2015 to resolve the conflicts between the separatists and Kyiv.
Russia’s war with Ukraine began as Russia repeatedly warned against NATO expansion on its western borders.
“Alexander Grushko”, the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, in his speech at the “Valday” meeting in the past few days, said that the NATO organization has once again returned to implementing the security and military plans of the Cold War period.
He added: “During the meeting in Madrid, Spain, which was held at the end of June, the NATO alliance tried to complete its expansion and return to the principles and security and military plans of the Cold War period.”
