"He has a folder on his desk that clearly states that Ukraine will perish. That is, intelligence, the military, political analysts, the CIA — everyone was unanimous about it,” the former head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.

Kuleba spoke about the document that he found during his visit to the United States shortly before the start of the ызуcial military operation. According to him, Biden himself and his administration were considering a possibility of creating a Ukrainian government in exile for that reason.

Kuleba earlier said that it was impossible to prevent the conflict with Russia, although it could be delayed. The diplomat accused Western partners of not strengthening Ukraine enough before the armed conflict with Russia started.
