Putin does not need Donetsk and Luhansk, he needs all Ukraine – Poroshenko

"The goal of Putin is an attempt to destabilize the situation in Ukraine. They need neither Donetsk nor Luhansk. They want the whole Ukraine to be part of the Russian Empire, and they want to destabilize the global security situation in the world," he said in an interview with CNN. Poroshenko said that in the last two weeks Ukraine lost 13 soldiers, 91 were injured, and the total number of attacks was 1,400. According to president, the bombardment by Russian planes of Aleppo in Syria is another example of how Russia is trying to destabilize the security situation in the world. He added that Russian aggression totally destroyed the postwar global security system, because the aggressor is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.
