”A Putin’s objective was to make Ukraine drop off the core geopolitical
radars and aftermath to capture the country outspreading deeper. But Ukraine
has been and still remains a principal partner for the West, hence, none will
shut their eyes to Russia”, Prime Minister of
Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk told in an interview with Ukrainian TV channels on
Friday, December 4.
"If
someone thinks that Russia has stopped, if someone thinks that the war is over
- no. Now Russia has switched the attention of the world to Syria, to the
situation with Turkey", explained Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
He said he
considers it "part of a Russian plan": "To make
Ukraine drop off the core geopolitical radars – it was
Putin's task. And then the creeping expansion to continue capturing Ukraine.
Both through a military operation that has not been removed from the agenda, as
dozens thousands of Russian gangsters and terrorists are still deployed in
Donetsk and Luhansk regions, and through the political destabilization inside
Ukraine".
"Everyone
keeps in mind Ukraine as it was ten years ago. The relationship between the
President and the Prime Minister, within the ruling coalition. In fact, some of
the players in this political standoff remained today in Ukrainian politics.
Therefore we have no right to give way, first of all, to the internal political
destabilization, the squabbles that destroy the state", urged Arseniy
Yatsenyuk.
The Head of
Government emphasized that the Russian plan on making Ukraine disappearing from
the public view could have happened to be: "But, recent visits of our
European partners and in the first place a visit of Vice President of the
United States of America Joe Biden are clear signals that Ukraine has been and
still remains a principal partner for the West,
so nobody will shut their eyes to Russia and nobody will
be negotiating backdoor about the future of Ukraine with Russia".
"It's
about the values of the free world," he said.
The Prime
Minister also stressed the importance of "Russia being aware that the
national security anddefence of Ukraine is financed, we are rebuilding the
army".
