UNITED NATIONS, January 18. /TASS/. Destroying Ukraine as a state has never been Russia’s goal, but Moscow will not tolerate it becoming a hateful Russophobic dictatorship, Russian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya said.

"Russia, as we repeatedly stressed, does not have a goal to eliminate Ukraine as a state, and it never did. However we cannot and we will not tolerate the fact that a hateful Russophobic and anti-Christian dictatorship is emerging right at our doorstep," he told Tuesday’s session of the UN Security Council, initiated by Russia to discuss human rights in Ukraine.
