Today, the main objective of Russian President Vladimir Putin is to undermine the common approach of the European Union and the United States against Russia due to its aggression in Ukraine.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said this in an interview with Associated Press.
According to him, the Russian leader currently wants "to split the unity among the EU member states, to lift sanctions. And to split the unity among the United States of America and the European Union."
In this regard, Yatseniuk called on the West to stay united in helping Ukraine repel Russian aggression and that achieving this would be the "joint success of the entire free world."
Yatseniuk also said that Putin intends to eliminate Ukraine as an independent state and could spark a new offensive in the east to achieve that aim. The Prime Minister also noted that Russia was uninterested in de-escalating Ukraine's conflict with separatist forces, despite its commitment to maintain a peace deal made in February.
Yatseniuk also told about the reforms introduced by the government, as well as about efforts aimed at elimination of corruption.
"A few years ago we had the territory. Today, we have the country. An independent country that is fighting for freedoms and liberties," he said.
