Aide to the President of Ukraine, First Vice-President of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Volodymyr Horbulin, said that the main purpose of the Russian aggression is the destruction of Ukraine and its statehood, as well as the restoration of Russia’s global leadership.

«Everything that was spoken at the beginning and middle of 2014 by Russian officials about the protection of the Russian-speaking population (only it is not clear from whom), the restoration of «historical Russia», the preservation of the «Russian world», the creation of «Novorossiya» at the expense of eight Oblasts of Ukraine – all this was aimed at one goal: to hide the real motive of aggression,» the presidential adviser said.

At the same time, according to Horbulin, there are two real objectives of the Russian aggression, Segodnya news agency reported.

«The first objective is to destruct the Ukrainian state and its statehood; the second one is to return Russia’s global political leadership in the world. The first goal is intermediate, the second is strategic. However, it is impossible to reach the second without the first,» he said.

As The Journalist reported, Kyiv, Warsaw are interested to prevent Nord Stream-2 launch.
