“We’ve been ready for this for five years, from the very first day,” he said in an interview with RBC-Ukraine, answering the question whether Ukraine is ready for the fact that at some point the sanctions will not be extended.

As the politician noted, if this happens, then the “avalanche of avalanche will come down unambiguously."

“But the main thing for us is that we are ready for any scenario. And we understand that this can happen, ”he added.

At the same time, he noted that the task of diplomacy and politics is to "prevent this without achieving the necessary results in Minsk."

Kuleba also called for preventing the lifting of anti-Russian sanctions, noting that Ukraine should receive compensation otherwise.

Earlier, the Bundestag called for gradually weakening anti-Russian sanctions.
