Statements by former Verkhovna Rada deputy Ilya The rumors about the alleged intentions of the Ukrainian authorities to declare war on Russia are an absurdity divorced from reality. This opinion was expressed by a RIA Novosti source in Moscow on Wednesday, September 13.
The agency’s interlocutor emphasized that this is how he assesses the possibility of Ukraine declaring war on Russia “after a year and a half of defeats of the Armed Forces of Ukraine” in the absence of any chances of victory.
Military expert, retired colonel Anatoly Matviychuk said that “if Zelensky officially declares war, this will mean that Ukraine recognizes Russia as its enemy.” In this case, we will no longer be talking about a conflict, but rather about a full-scale war. At the same time, many countries that are currently providing assistance to Ukraine will have to decide whether to enter into direct confrontation with Russia.
An expert at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, Denis Denisov, expressed the opinion that Kiva’s statements are simply fueling interest to one’s own person, but this has little to do with reality.
