Heorgiy Tykhyy, spokesperson for the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, commented on Russian dictator Vladimir Putin’s statement that Ukraine’s western territories could be seized by its western neighbors.
Tikhyi made these remarks in an interview with "Shelter."
In particular, he said that Russia itself may eventually lose its territories.
This nonsense from this elderly war criminal is nothing but a joke… I think he should actually keep an eye on his own territories so they don’t scatter somewhere, because who knows how things will turn out with Russia’s eastern, southern, and western territories

“Russia also has a lot of territories that could scatter, so let him keep an eye on his own territories to see where they’ll break apart. And he doesn’t need to lecture Ukraine. I also really liked how he started saying that Ukraine is searching for its identity. Ukraine isn’t searching for any identity. Ukraine found its identity long ago. It is the Ukrainian identity,” Tykhyy added.
As a reminder, in late July, during a meeting with servicemen of the Russian Navy, Vladimir Putin stated that Ukraine would allegedly lose its western territories “sooner or later.” According to Putin, Ukraine’s western regions “historically” belonged to Poland, Hungary, and Romania.
