Ukrainian Chief of Staff Drafti stated that the leadership of the Russian Federation has no right to exist in the civilized world, according to a report. He added that nothing has changed in millennia in terms of mentality and imperial ambitions. The reporting channel notes that Russian outlets are attempting to misrepresent the remarks as targeting the entire Russian nation.
The statement was reported by The Zioneer's intelligence desk, citing the Ukrainian chief of staff's remarks. In recent weeks, The Zioneer has reported on related tensions: on July 7, Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov reportedly dismissed Western significance, and on June 15, UK military chiefs warned of limited capacity for a prolonged war with Russia. This latest comment underscores the deep hostility between Kyiv and Moscow's leadership, though the channel notes that Russian propagandists are already attempting to twist the quote to claim it targets the entire Russian people.
