Russia’s strategic goal in the war in Ukraine is the complete destruction of the Ukrainian state and the Ukrainian nation, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar said on Thursday.
He told a news conference that the situation remained difficult for Ukrainian forces and that Russia’s main focus now was to regain full control of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions of eastern Ukraine.
“Russia’s main strategic, military-political and military-economic goals for our state remain the complete destruction of the Ukrainian state and the (Ukrainian) nation, as well as the destruction of the military and economic foundations of our state,” he said.
He said Russia’s military targets also included the destruction of weapons and equipment sent to Ukraine by its foreign partners and the destruction of transport infrastructure used to transport military and civilian goods.
Further military action will depend on the resources that Ukraine has at its disposal, he said, in an obvious reference to Ukrainian demands for its allies to provide it with more weapons.
