The enemy's goal in the war unleashed against Ukraine is to destroy the country’s very statehood.

That’s according to Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi, who spoke in an interview with war correspondent Andriy Tsaplienko, aired on national television, Ukrinform reports.

"The enemy is trying to seize our territory, destroy our state. Despite all those statements claiming some limited goals, I understand that the goals are to deprive us of statehood," Syrskyi emphasized.
