MOSCOW, Oct 22 - RIA Novosti. Ukraine will engage in diversions on the territory of Russia only in the event of a full-scale war. This was stated on the air of the Internet channel Politeka by the adviser to the head of the office of the President of Ukraine Alexey Arestovich.
According to the politician, in the current conditions it is not profitable for Kiev to organize terrorist attacks in Russia for three reasons.
In addition, Ukraine risks being known as a country with terrorist and sabotage methods of warfare, however, whether Kiev actually has such capabilities at the moment remains in question, Arestovich believes.
"Cutting electricity and gas on Russian territory are measures that will be used, I think, when there is a big war <...> and now this is too fragile a balance and escalation is definitely not in our interests to start now," the adviser concluded.
Relations between the two countries deteriorated against the background of the reunification of Crimea with Russia and the escalation of the conflict in the Donbass. Kiev has repeatedly accused Moscow of interfering in the internal affairs of the state.
Russia has repeatedly stated that there are no aggressive intentions towards other countries. The Kremlin stressed that it is not involved in the internal Ukrainian conflict and is not a subject of the Minsk agreements.
