–Moscow is only against Ukraine’s “military development.” And the decisions on economic integration in any union is the work of the Ukrainians themselves.
We have never been against Ukraine’s accession to the EU. We have always been against the military development of Ukrainian territory because it threatens our security. We were against it. But when it comes to economic integration, for God’s sake, it’s their choice, “Putin said.
He noted that the EU must decide whether Ukraine’s accession to the EU is appropriate.
“Each country can make a sovereign decision whether or not to join an economic union, and only it decides whether to accept new members or not. The countries of the European Union must determine whether this is possible and appropriate for the EU. Whether it is for the benefit or detriment of Ukraine – this is also their job, the work of the Ukrainian people and the current Ukrainian leadership, “the Russian president concluded.
