Russia must cease to exist in its current form - Danilov

This was stated by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov, who spoke at the Kyiv Security Forum, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"They (the Russian Federation - ed.) simply must be destroyed so that they cease to exist as a country within the limits in which they exist. Because today, Russia is one of the few countries that has colonies on its territory, which destroyed a huge number of peoples, languages, cultures, and traditions. They are just barbarians. And when you say that we should sit down at the table with these barbarians and talk about something, I generally think that it will be inappropriate," Danilov emphasized.

He also noted that the dictators Hitler and Putin are similar, and that Russia constantly stole someone else's history.

"I consider Hitler and Putin to be Siamese twins... they are similar people. Look, the person who makes the decision that it is necessary to bomb the civilian population, torture them, kill innocent children and it is not about one or ten, it is hundreds of children who died in this war just because someone in the Kremlin wanted to gain some advantage. We are different, we have nothing to do with you. You are Muscovy, which was only on its territory, you are thieves who constantly stole someone's history. You constantly demand something, but you are not at all worthy of anyone in the world communicating with you," the Secretary of the Security Council emphasized.

As reported, on December 1, on the 31st anniversary of the National Referendum, which confirmed the independence of Ukraine, its territorial integrity and the inviolability of borders, the annual Kyiv Security Forum is taking place in the capital.
