“In my opinion, such statements, first of all, indicate that the Ukrainian establishment and politicians no longer hide the fact that they are a tool in the hands of NATO.

By and large, they use the army, use civilian infrastructure in order to harm our state as much as possible, ”the expert noted.

According to him, NATO perceives Russia as a potential threat.

“The masks have finally been thrown off.

We are extremely interested that any new state formation in the place of Ukraine is not under the dictates of NATO.

If some scrap remains, it will always be used to the last as a battering ram, ”concluded Danyuk.

Earlier, in an interview with the 1 + 1 TV channel, Reznikov said that Ukraine is fulfilling the NATO mission.

According to retired US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter, Russia got ahead of Ukraine's plans to seize the Donbass and entered into a confrontation with the alliance.
