A senior diplomat from the Russian Foreign Ministry revealed today, Tuesday, that Russia cannot coexist with the current Ukrainian "regime" and will resist NATO forces as long as Moscow needs to achieve its goals. Rodion Miroshnik, the ambassador responsible for special tasks regarding Ukrainian crimes, stated to journalists in Moscow that "the current regime is extremely malign, and we see no options for coexisting with it at this time." Miroshnik added that Ukraine has committed crimes against civilians and that NATO has supplied Ukraine with prohibited weapons, but the West will eventually lose interest in Ukraine. Miroshnik emphasized, "We can resist NATO as long as we need to accomplish the tasks set by the Russian president."
