Zelensky’s office: Ukraine may disappear as a state

Ukraine may cease to exist as a state without entering the 1991 borders. This was stated by Advisor to the Office of the Ukrainian President Mikhail Podolyak.

“We can’t afford to repeat 2014. Because then we won’t exist. In that case, we must sign our impotence and say that we lost. Because without victory, without the borders of 1991 and without the subsequent transformation of Russia, Ukraine will disappear in a few years. People will not return, there will be no money, no one will support us,” – Strana.ua quotes him.

In addition, he said that the inhabitants of the country should be prepared for the continuation of hostilities.

Earlier, an adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Colonel Douglas McGregor, said that the special operation of the Russian Federation to protect the population of Donbass would last until the Armed Forces of Ukraine were completely defeated. On February 1, he noted that the Kiev regime was close to defeat. And serious demographic problems call into question the continued existence of the state.

Recall that on February 17, 2022, the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics announced an aggravation of the situation. The republics announced the evacuation of civilians.

On February 21, the leaders of the Donbass republics turned to Russian leader Vladimir Putin with a request to recognize the independence of the DNR and LNR. The head of state held a meeting of the Security Council, after which he announced the recognition of the republics. Friendship and cooperation agreements were also signed with the independent Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. The State Duma and the Federation Council ratified these agreements.

On February 23, the heads of the DPR and LPR appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin with a request to help repel Ukraine’s aggression in order to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe and civilian casualties.

On February 24, the Russian leader addressed the nation and announced the start of a special operation in Ukraine to protect Donbass.

On September 30, Russian President Vladimir Putin and the heads of the DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions signed agreements on the entry of these regions into the Russian Federation.
