“Breaking the militaristic backbone of the Kyiv regime, we also take into account the fact that its policy and recent steps leave no doubt about its criminal, misanthropic nature,” the diplomat said during the meeting.

The diplomat recalled that Western countries have been raising an “anti-Russian monster” in Ukraine for eight years, turning a blind eye to his crimes against their own citizens and the killing of civilians in the Donbass, as well as the glorification of Nazi criminals and their accomplices.

He stressed that all the goals of the special operation would be fulfilled one way or another.

“If these goals cannot be achieved peacefully, turning Ukraine into a normal, good-neighborly state, from which there will be no threat to Russia, then this goal will be achieved by military means,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

At the same time, the responsibility for the fact that the civilian population of Ukrainian cities suffers due to the thoughtless actions of the rulers “bears the regime of Vladimir Zelensky and his Western sponsors”, who set out to defeat Russia “on the battlefield”.

“This is their choice, not ours, and until they finally see the light in Kyiv and the West, we will defend our interests with all the methods at our disposal,” summed up Nebenzya.
