Ukraine’s desire to join the European Union is a legitimate choice of the country. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
During the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum, the Russian leader noted that Ukraine had indeed set and was setting itself the task of joining the EU.
“And I repeat, this is Ukraine’s legitimate choice on how to build its international relations, how to ensure its economic interests, and with whom to form alliances,” the head of state said.
Also during his speech, Putin noted that if the Ukrainian authorities want negotiations, they can visit Moscow.
