Russia not to voluntarily stop its war on Ukraine - Morawiecki

Russia draws no conclusions from its failures on the battlefield in Ukraine and neither has it any intention of ending its war of aggression.

That’s according to Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki of Poland, who spoke at the Atlantic Council in Washington, D.C., an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

"Don't expect the Russians to learn from their failures on the battlefield and possibly stop the war. I am pessimistic about this. I don't think this is possible any time soon," said Morawiecki.

In his opinion, Russia’s main goal in this war is to "destroy Ukraine." "They need it to make sure Ukraine doesn’t become a foundation for strengthening the West," Polish prime minister noted.

Morawiecki added that "this aspiration is most likely shared by communist China." "This is another aspect that unites the two superpowers, even if Russia has become a junior partner in this union over the recent years," concluded the head of the Polish government.

As reported, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine predicts that during the spring-summer period, Russia will boost its force in terms of numbers and quality, continue to form strategic reserves, deploy them toward the borders with Ukraine, and may also continue to run a covert mobilization campaign.
