Russia does not have the ability to start wars against other countries while its army is on the territory of Ukraine, says the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov.
"The Russian Federation has no ability to open new fronts at all as long as they are on the territory of Ukraine," emphasizes Danilov.
He also adds that when the occupiers leave the territory of Ukraine, they "will have no opportunity to wage any wars at all."
At the same time, Danilov comments on the Bild article claiming that Germany is allegedly preparing for a hybrid Russian attack on the eastern flank of NATO, which could happen in February. Journalists argued that such a situation would "affect assistance to Ukraine."
As the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine notes, he is more than confident that allies will continue to help our country.
"They understand: if the situation on the front deteriorates, and we are losing, they may have problems with Russia. We are ready to defend our independence and destroy the enemy, and NATO countries will definitely help us because they have no desire to wage direct war with the Russian Federation," he adds.
In his opinion, the world has long been involved in an information and trade war with Russia.
Background
In Europe, concerns are growing that Russia may attack in the next few years.
In particular, German analysts claim that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin needs about six years to prepare for an attack on NATO.
Also, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk admits that Russia may attack Europe in the next few years, with the condition being an obvious advantage for Russia in military capabilities.
