Ukraine says its defense industry has been destroyed
Kiev's official accused Moscow of trying to reduce Ukraine to a “destroyed territory” in which “no one would be interested”
Russian forces have almost completely destroyed the Ukrainian defense industry and are “finishing off” the civilian one, an adviser to President Volodymyr Zelensky, Alexey Arestovich, claimed on Thursday.
Commenting on the most recent round of the negotiations between Kiev and Moscow, which took place earlier this week in Istanbul, Arestovich underlined that any “large-scale military aggression and peace agreement are always compromises between the sides.”
“Because both sides suffer losses. If you think that we do not suffer losses, then you are deeply mistaken. They have practically destroyed our military industry and in many ways are finishing it off. And in many ways they are finishing off the civilian one, deliberately destroying it,” he explained.
He claimed that Russia’s goal is to reduce Ukraine to a state when “no one would be interested” in it, “like a destroyed territory.”
“This is exactly what they are doing and will keep doing,” he stressed.
Russia insists that it has not targeted civilian objects and accuses “Ukrainian nationalists” of using ordinary people as “human shields.”
