All enemy’s problems benefit Ukraine’s victory – Foreign Minister Kuleba

This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba at the Book Arsenal festival.

"Any uprising, any problem behind the enemy lines is in our interests," he said.

When asked by the journalist about the possible consequences of the civil war in Russia for Ukraine, Kuleba replied that it was too early to talk about it and predict.

"Prigozhin rebelled against the entire machine of the Russian state. Therefore, it would be too speculative to predict the consequences now. But I repeat once again: any problems in the enemy's rear are for the benefit of our victory," the minister explained.

He also added that Ukraine’s foreign partners are closely monitoring developments in Russia.
