Highlights: Mladic's son Darko: NATO's goal was not Yugoslavia, but expansion towards Russia. “Russia has been the main target of expansion all these years. We were at the beginning of the process,” he said. According to Mladic Jr., what began in Yugoslavia in 1991 is now being completed in Ukraine. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the internal conflict that led to the 1999 events in Yugoslavia was fueled both from within and from without. The Russian Foreign Ministry also stated that the question of NATO’s responsibility for damage from the bombing of Yugoslavia is open.

The real goal of NATO intervention in the Balkans in the 1990s was not Yugoslavia, but the expansion of the bloc eastward, towards the borders of Russia.
