No countries will be safe as long as Russia is led by Vladimir Putin, Viktor Yushchenko has claimed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ukraine should keep fighting Russia until it takes Moscow, former Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko has declared. Kiev’s forces have been on the retreat for months along the entire front line.<\/p>\n

Yushchenko served as president of Ukraine between 2005 and 2010, following the so-called Orange Revolution, which resulted in the Supreme Court going against the national constitution and ordering a third round in the election, which he won.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Apostrof TV on YouTube on Friday, the former president slammed those calling for a stop to the fighting along the current line of contact.<\/p>\n

“I cannot leave it like that. It will never be my choice,”<\/em> he insisted, adding that at age 71 he has every right to “speak frankly”<\/em> about what he sees as his country’s goals in the conflict.<\/p>\n

He also criticized those who simply want Ukraine to regain the territories lost to Russia, including Crimea.<\/p>\n

“If you think that returning to the 1991 borders is the formula for victory… you are actually leaving the biggest problem to your children and grandchildren. The problem is Moscow,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

When the host asked if he meant that the Ukrainian forces should advance to the Russian capital, the former president confirmed: “Yes, to Moscow.”<\/em><\/p>\n

He explained that the Russian capital must fall because “not a single person in the world, not a single nationality, not a single state can live peacefully… as long as [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s regime exists.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Ukraine has been steadily losing ground to the Russian military since the start of the year almost everywhere along the front line. <\/p>\n

Russian Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov said in late August that the army has liberated more than 3,500 square kilometers of territory and 149 settlements since March.<\/p>\n

Putin reiterated in early September that “Russia never had, does not have, and never will have any desire to attack anyone.”<\/em> As for the Ukraine conflict, it was provoked by the West, and Moscow is only defending itself, he stressed.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
