The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine announced the development of a three-tier plan to contain Russia's aggression , said the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the republic Dmitry Kuleba. This was reported on Thursday, November 18, by RBC-Ukraine.
According to the minister, Kiev's vision of threats from Russia coincides with the vision of international partners. “We are working to consolidate such a level of international support for Ukraine so that Moscow, in principle, would not even want to start any military adventures,” he stressed.
The first level of the joint plan is diplomatic, Kuleba said. The idea is for Kiev's foreign partners to make strong, timely public and non-public statements in support of it.
“The second level is economic. We are talking about new and painful economic restrictions that can be introduced in the event of new aggressive actions by Russia. It should have strikes in the most painful places, including the Nord Stream-2 project, ”the Foreign Minister continued.
The third level is military-defensive. It involves strengthening Ukraine's defense capability, including by supplying it with additional weapons.
“This three-tier deterrent package is filled by different partners depending on their readiness and determination. Someone is ready to provide weapons, someone is ready to develop economic measures, and someone is ready to make strong statements, “Kuleba concluded.
