According to the second president of Ukraine, Leonid Kuchma, Kremlin dictator and war criminal Vladimir Putin may very well have a mental disorder, as indicated by his manic tendencies on the subject of Ukraine.

What is known about Putin's obsession with Ukraine

People say that his obsession with Ukraine is a kind of mania or a mental disorder. Maybe it's true, Kuchma said.

The second president of Ukraine reminded that the Kremlin dictator is a former employee of the KGB with all the relevant consequences.

Kuchma also said that at the beginning of the large-scale invasion of the criminal army of the Russian Federation into Ukraine on February 24, 2022, he and his wife Lyudmila were in the centre of Kyiv.

I was sure that Putin was capable of an invasion, but I was not sure whether he would decide on it, the second president of Ukraine notes.

He emphasized that Putin's desire was not only to seize territories but also to destroy Ukraine as a competing state of the Russian Federation.

Proof of this is the terrible human losses and reputational sacrifices that Putin is willing to make for this purpose, Kuchma emphasized.

What has been said in the EU

According to the EU’s foreign diplomacy chief, Josep Borrell, Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin is trying to give new impetus to the criminal war against Ukraine.

As Borrell said, Ukraine is currently making efforts on two fronts: the military front and the way to starting accession negotiations.

On the military front, Russia is regrouping, mobilizing more soldiers, acquiring and producing more military equipment. We must support Ukraine in countering this, the EU's foreign diplomacy chief said.

Borrell emphasized that on the eve of the presidential elections in Russia next March, Putin is trying to give new impetus to the war against Ukraine.

Borrell recalled that last night, Russia carried out the first attack with the launch of ballistic missiles on Kyiv in more than two months.

Also, Russia continues to attack the civilian population, infrastructure and exports.

We must do everything possible to avoid the victory of Putin's Russia. We must continue to support Ukraine. We have already initiated dialogue and expert consultations with Ukraine regarding future security obligations. We must provide operational and military support, but we must also work on predictable long-term funding. Today at the meeting, the vast majority of ministers were very clear: this is not a moment to weaken our support for Ukraine, but on the contrary, it is a moment to strengthen and accelerate support, Borell said.

According to him, for this, European countries should maintain unity and strengthen the capabilities of their defence industry and help Ukraine increase the production of its weapons.

At the same time, it is clear from Borrell's words that the eighth tranche of 500 million euros for purchasing weapons for Ukraine could not be agreed upon again.

We have to agree on the eighth package under the European Peace Fund, which is still not approved. And we need to support the new filling of the European Peace Fund in the amount of 5 billion euros. "I expect the leaders of the European Union to give guidance on these important decisions later this week," Borrell stressed.
