Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that despite Monday’s Russian attacks on the capital Kyiv and other cities in the country, the local government will continue to try to reclaim areas occupied by Moscow since the start of the war in February.
“Regardless of what he [o presidente russo, Vladimir Putin]
do, we will continue to liberate our territory,” Kuleba said in an interview with CNN.
“This is the war for Ukraine’s existence. This is the war for the existence of international law and the rule-based order. So he can climb [o conflito], he can do whatever he wants. But we will keep fighting and we will win.”
In Monday’s missile attacks, a response to the weekend explosion on a bridge linking Russia with Crimea (a region occupied by the Kremlin since 2014), Russian forces mainly targeted Ukrainian infrastructure such as energy facilities and civilian targets such as residential buildings. At least eleven people were killed.
Ukraine did not claim responsibility for the bridge explosion, and Kuleba suggested in the CNN interview that Russia may have been the target of internal sabotage.
“I wouldn’t rule out something happening inside Russia, because this bridge is heavily guarded on all sides.”
