“Europe has always overestimated Russia, not underestimated it. In Europe, there are whole schools of thought that are convinced that Russia should be attracted to different formats of cooperation, and this attraction will be a deterrent to Russia, an instrument for transforming Russia into a more civilized state, ”he said.

According to him, “for its part, these theories are actively fueling these theories, because they are beneficial to it.”

“And all that you voiced is just a reassessment of your own ability to negotiate with Russia and change Russia from the West. None of these stories worked. Everything ended only with the fact that Russia was becoming aggressive, ”added Kuleba.

Earlier, Dmitry Kuleba called the “U-turn” of Ukraine the Russian strategic goal.

He also emphasized that the course of Ukraine towards European integration is unchanged, and the “reversal” of Ukraine from the EU is unacceptable.
