“It should be noted that, unfortunately, despite various actions on the part of Ukraine related to the exchange of prisoners, some tension in relation to our country remains,” the deputy said.

According to Shvytkin, the adopted strategy indicates that Ukraine sees Russia "far from being a fraternal state."

“They expect aggression from us. But this is not true. Ukraine should move towards Russia, and not from it, ”he said.

It was previously reported that the national security strategy of Ukraine, presented at a meeting of the National Security and Defense Council, involves measures to reduce tensions in relations with Russia.
