The President noted that to the Russian-Ukrainian war, he never would have thought that Russia could attack Ukraine.
“Putin is completely unpredictable, if you ask me in 2014, whether the annexation of the Crimea, my answer would be – definitely not. If you asked me, or anyone in 2014, whether it’s aggression, I’d say definitely not. Russia is a permanent member of the UN security Council, the structure, ensuring global security, and he (Putin) has destroyed all the mechanisms of global security in the world”, – stressed the head of state.
Earlier the President of Ukraine noted that the desire of Vladimir Putin to destroy the European unity and solidarity with Ukraine is not implemented. According to him, Ukraine and Europe are trying to put Russia at the negotiating table to force to withdraw.
