Conflict in Ukraine the most serious since Cuban missile crisis – Klimkin
Russia is waging an undeclared war on Ukraine, punishing the country for its European choice, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said.
“It is an undeclared war, with an unfair price, because we are fighting for justice and democracy on our own land. We are attacked for our European choice,” he said at the Atlantic Council in Washington on Tuesday.

“In my opinion, the world faces the biggest threat since the Cuban crisis of 1962,” he said.
Klimkin said that in order to resolve this conflict, it was necessary to have a deep understanding of the situation and respond to it not only in terms of de-escalation, but also in terms of the consequences for the future.
