“The Russian flag should not fly anywhere”- Poroshenko urged world to put pressure on Russia
During a speech at the 54th Munich security conference, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko urged the leaders to continue to put pressure on Russia over its aggression against Ukraine, participation in the war in Syria. Unleashed by Russia’s hybrid war is gradually becoming global. And it is already experiencing the European Union.
Poroshenko appealed to the leaders of the countries that they do not recognize the Russian presidential elections in the occupied Crimea and not restored the authority of Russia in PACE. He stressed that Russia came into Crimea to protect the rights and freedoms of people – they are being violated wherever there is Russia and most brutally against the Crimean Tatars. Russia also is not interested in annexation of Donbas – this area was subjected to a military attack by the Kremlin to weaken and destabilize Ukraine, as reported by ukrhotnews.com.
“However, Ukraine is not Russia’s aim. Russia has a different goal. Its purpose is to meet the ambitions of the Kremlin, and revenge for “the greatest catastrophe of the twentieth century,” as Putin described the collapse of the Soviet Union. The collapse of the “Russian world”, built on lies and violence,” the President said.
He recalled the “little green men” in Crimea: after the first ridiculous objections, the Kremlin admitted the truth. “It is not surprising that the same people this time can be traced, for example in Syria, apparently with their previous combat experience in Donbas and Crimea. I’m not one who believes the objections of Moscow, which, they claim, “they are not there”. I am the one who warns you about the lack of boundaries from the Kremlin about its hidden agenda,” Poroshenko said.
