Ukrainian Ambassador to Australia Vasyl Myroshnychenko says Russia believes it needs to “revive” the Soviet Union and the Russian empire.
“They just believe they need to revive the Soviet Union, revive the Russian empire, and that was the main reason why Russians were so objecting to Ukraine’s entry – protentional entry into the NATO.
“Because if we become part of NATO, Russians can never invade us, and they always wanted to invade, and now they’ve done it.”
