Putin: "If Ukraine Attacks Donestsk or Luhansk, Ukraine will cease to exist"
Russian President Vladimir Putin has said "Any attack on the Donbass (i.e. Donetsk or Luhansk) by the Ukraine government in Kiev, will lead to the end of Ukraine’s existence as a sovereign country." Those remarks have now been confirmed by high-ranking sources in the Russia Ministry of Defense.

According to the public newspaper SMI_li in Telegram, in an interview with the newspaper, the military allegedly stated that they "can only repeat the words of the supreme commander that, in the event of an attack on the Donbass, with political or other goals, Ukraine will suffer dire consequences and loss of its statehood."
“We also confirm the OSCE’s information on the heavy armaments -- banned by Minsk-2 -- having now been brought to the line of contact by the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” reads the quote. They are referring to numerous social media reports of heavy tanks and artillery having been moved toward Mariupol by the Kiev government within the past two weeks.
In addition, the authors of the article report that "this information was also confirmed to them by two independent sources in the Federation Council and the State Duma of Russia."
Moreover, one of the sources recalled how similar aggression ended for Georgia in 2008. He added that at the same time "in 2008 the Russian army was much less equipped and efficient".
"Do not even think of going to climb, if you do not want to lose your country," he added, referring to the authorities of Ukraine.
Recall that during a direct interview, Vladimir Putin answered the question of Zakhar Prilepin - he wondered if the president was not expecting an attack by Ukraine on the Donbass during the 2018 World Cup.
Putin, in response, expressed the hope that "things will not come to such provocations." “And if this happens, I think that this will have very serious consequences for the Ukrainian statehood as a whole. Once again I want to emphasize: I hope that nothing of the kind will happen,” the Russian leader warned.
