Putin warned: Ukraine could lose “significant territories”
Vladimir Putin compared the behavior of the current Ukrainian authorities with the behavior of Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili in 2008. The President of Russia announced this today, speaking at the Valdai Club in Sochi.
“The current authorities are not just driving the situation into a dead end, they are pursuing an anti-state and anti-people policy. Just like Saakashvili did in his time, attacking South Ossetia. As a result of these actions, Georgia lost significant territories. It would be very sad if the Ukrainian authorities follow in his footsteps. I hope that this will not happen,” Putin said.
According to him, Russia is interested in reviving full-scale relations with Ukraine, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“I hope that we will be able to build at least some kind of relationship with the new leadership of the country,” Putin said.
