The hostilities in Israel and the massive rocket attacks are a consequence of Russia undermining global security. Due to Moscow's actions, the world is plunging into chaos, according to the Advisor to the head of the President's Office, Mykhailo Podolyak.
"Consequences. All that Russia is doing in Ukraine is destroying global security, global rules, global agreements. As a consequence, the world is plunging into chaos, and terrorist communities are beginning to behave more defiantly, aggressively, and even declare war against entire countries....," he stated.
Podolyak believes that defeating Russia can restore stability to the world. He referred to Moscow as the "key sponsor of global terrorism and the author of the deliberate collapse of international law."
