Andrei Kelin, the Russian Ambassador to the UK, said in an interview: “BBC”The duration of the conflict in Ukraine will depend on how much NATO countries, including Britain, will aggravate it.
The ambassador was asked how long the conflict in Ukraine could last.
“This depends on the efforts to escalate the conflict by NATO countries, especially the UK,” replied Kelin.
He added that Moscow has so far taken “very serious steps” in response to the West’s moves to support Kiev, describing the idea that Ukraine can defeat Russia as “the great mistake of the idealists”.
