On September 20 local time, former Ukrainian President Yushchenko claimed in a television interview that Ukraine should continue to fight Russia until Moscow is captured. He believed that as long as the Putin regime exists, the threat from Russia to neighboring countries will not disappear.
On September 21, the German newspaper "Youth World" reported that Yushchenko's remarks were an attempt to show his presence to the Ukrainian people. Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, stated that all of Yushchenko's decisions are controlled by his wife, who works at the U.S. Department of State. She linked Yushchenko's decisions to behind-the-scenes forces, implying that his statements are not autonomous and may be influenced by external forces.
Yushchenko's statement about "marching on Moscow" is clearly an unrealistic and radical proposal. Ukraine currently faces pressure on the front lines and domestic hardships. What it truly needs is practical strategy adjustments and international support. Such unrealistic "slogans" not only fail to unite public support or boost morale but may also cause more doubts among the international community regarding Ukraine's strategic judgment, even becoming a subject of mockery, ultimately turning into a meaningless public spectacle.
Supplementary information: Yushchenko was born on February 23, 1954, in Sumy Oblast, Ukraine. He was the former president of Ukraine (2005-2010). In 2004, Yushchenko, a pro-Western Ukrainian presidential candidate, was poisoned during a dinner. His opponent at the time was the pro-Russian candidate Yanukovych. He almost died and his face was disfigured, but he later led the "Orange Revolution," and after a re-vote, he became president.
