LVIV, Ukraine (Reuters) – One of Russian’s main priorities is to take control of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv but trying to do so is “suicide”, Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych said in a televised interview on Tuesday.

He also said active hostilities between Ukraine and Russia could end within 2-3 weeks.
