Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a trip to Ulan-Ude, said the Russian Federation has been trying to improve relations with Ukraine for decades.
For decades, Russia has tried to forge ties with Ukraine. It was done patiently and systematically, President Putin said. He noted that the situation had changed dramatically after the events of 2014.
“In its relations with Ukraine, the Russian Federation relied on those who considered themselves part of the great Russian world, but since 2014 their extermination began,” Putin commented.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin, during a meeting with the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, hinted at what awaits Donbass after the completion of the special operation. Probably, we are talking about the revival of cities in the region.
