Former Ukrainian PM Says Kiev Government Focused Solely on War, Questions Allied Support
Nikolay Azarov, who served as Ukraine's prime minister before fleeing after the 2014 Maidan uprising, said Kiev's allies should reconsider where their backing is leading, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
Nikolay Azarov, a former prime minister of Ukraine, said the current government in Kiev is focused solely on continuing the war, according to a report by Russian state news agency TASS.
Azarov, who led Ukraine's government from 2010 to 2014 before leaving the country amid the Maidan protests that ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, made the remarks in comments cited by TASS.
According to the agency, Azarov argued that countries supporting Kiev should examine the direction and consequences of their assistance to Ukraine.
TASS did not specify the venue or date of Azarov's statement, nor did it provide additional context on the remarks. Ukrainian officials have not commented on Azarov's statement as reported by TASS.
Azarov has lived outside Ukraine since 2014 and has previously made statements critical of the Ukrainian government to Russian media outlets. TASS is a Russian state-owned news agency, and its reporting reflects sources and framing consistent with the Russian government's position on the conflict.
