“But when we say“ sanctions ”, and European countries participate in the“ Nord Stream ”... When we say“ sanctions ”- and we say right there,“ but what to do to ease the sanctions, as if to lift the sanctions ... "This is not said by anyone, but by the president of France, who is one of the participants in the Minsk process and meetings in the Norman format," Kravchuk said in an interview with Gordon.
According to the former president, "here we are saying one thing, here is another, but we are doing the third."
"And I think that there is no other way to stop Russia, more precisely, the Kremlin and the Kremlin leaders, except for tough, united, united in a coalition to support Ukraine, and not only Ukraine, but also in a coalition that would stop aggressive affairs in the world," He explained.
Earlier, Kravchuk stated that the first secretary of the CPSU Central Committee, Nikita Khrushchev, forced the Ukrainian SSR to accept Crimea into its membership, since Moscow “could not deal with it”.
In addition, he said what mistakes were made in building relations with Russia after the collapse of the USSR.
According to him, if he had a time machine, he would more carefully work out various mechanisms of relations with Russia.
Crimea became the Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which most residents spoke out for reunification with Russia.
