PoliticsEscalation by Kyiv will only destroy Ukraine’s industry and economy — ex-PM

Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov said that escalation by Kyiv would only destroy Ukraine’s own industry and economy. Azarov recalled that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had expressed hope that Ukraine’s expanded strikes deep inside Russia could help create conditions for negotiations. Those negotiations were intended to end the conflict. His comments present the escalation as damaging to Ukraine rather than as a path toward a favorable outcome.
