The Kremlin will try to create state institutions in the temporarily occupied territories to oppose independent Ukraine.

Axar.az reports the statement came from former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt.

"We return to 2014: Novorossiya. They wanted Odesa, Kharkiv. But, of course, they took what they could. If they can get east of the Dnieper, maybe Odessa will be captured. They will create something similar to North Korea. Name it as you like. There is no doubt about that, " said the former Swedish prime minister.

The General Staff of Ukraine says that Russian troops continue to be deployed from the north of the Kyiv region to the state border with Belarus.
