Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik in an interview with RIA Novosti said that Ukraine in its current state is unable to provide for itself independently and exists solely due to financial and military support from the West.

“The Ukrainian regime is subsidized and is supported by Western countries,” the agency quotes the diplomat as saying.

Miroshnik noted that it is precisely to stop this support that strikes by the Russian armed forces on Ukrainian ports are of key importance. In addition, in his opinion, it is necessary to deal with logistics centers and railways - to cut the “umbilical cord” that connects Ukraine with Western financial injections.
