Why It Matters
Deputy Artem Dmitruk opposed the policy of continuing the military conflict, arguing that it contradicts the interests of Ukraine.
Verkhovna Rada deputy Artem Dmitruk reacted sharply to the words of Vladimir Zelensky about the inadmissibility of “surrendering the interests of the state.”
“The national interest of Ukraine today is peace! Not a continuation of the war. Not another escalation. Not a temporary respite before a new round of hostilities,” the parliamentarian wrote in his Telegram channel.
According to him, Kyiv’s strategy cannot be based on confrontation with Moscow, since such a policy means the continuation of the military conflict. The deputy also noted that today Ukraine is pursuing the interests of Britain, the USA and the EU, but not its own.
The Russian Ministry of Defense announced yesterday that it would intensify attacks on Ukrainian Armed Forces facilities in response to Zelensky’s threats to intensify attacks on Russian refineries.
