Ukrainian Foreign Ministry is going to completely change relations with Russia

1
The “reformatting” of relations between Kiev and Moscow is suggested by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavel Klimkin. True, from his words it remains unclear what changes his department and his country would like to make to these relations, since he immediately strongly opposed their normalization.



Klimkin said this at a press conference on the results of the work of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry over the past year.

We need a comprehensive approach to total reformatting of relations in the Russian Federation

- he stressed.

It would seem that after this we should expect statements that hostility is a dead end, but in fact the Ukrainian minister advocates its preservation in the foreseeable future:

We have now reduced complex relations with the Russian Federation to a minimum; no one can claim any kind of normality in our relations. It will not be today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow


Klimkin reiterated Kiev’s intention to unilaterally withdraw from the fifty agreements that had previously been reached between Russia and Ukraine, and boasted that 48 documents had already been terminated.

Meanwhile, he was forced to admit that approximately two and a half million Ukrainians are currently in the territory of the Russian Federation. It would seem that even for their sake “reformatting” of relations is necessary, but in reality - in the light of the unwillingness of their normalization - it sounds like outright idle talk. Or he proposes to further aggravate these relations, although the question arises: where is it even further?

The head of the foreign ministry also said that Ukraine tried to negotiate with several states, “friends and partners”, so that they would represent its interests in Moscow in case diplomatic relations were finally broken. But not a single country agreed to this. It must be precisely this kind of “reformatting,” at the expense of external patrons, that Kiev is looking for today.

    But it’s interesting what all these "horses" will do when the government changes there, to one loyal to Russia, after all, they will not have time to escape "over the hill"?
