“We believe that we should be a bridge between Europe and the East. The east is Russia, the CIS countries, and then China, countries of the Asia-Pacific region. Here's how to build the economy in the interests of the country and the people, ”Medvedchuk said on the TV channel NEWSONE.
Earlier, he said that during public events he speaks Russian to support the residents of the south-east of the country.
