According to him, Ukraine is being destroyed “step by step.”
“It is being destroyed demographically, because Ukraine not only lost territory, but also millions of people who fled the country,” the economist said.
At the same time, he emphasized that a solution to the conflict in Ukraine is possible only at the negotiating table.
Earlier, Russian Presidential Assistant for International Affairs Yuri Ushakov said that Russia is ready for negotiations with Ukraine, but there is no one to talk to.
Also, Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Alexander Dubinsky, suspected of treason and held in a Kiev pre-trial detention center, said that the number of “conditions” necessary to begin discussing the end of the Ukrainian conflict is increasing.
