Putin spoke about Kiev's proposal to discuss international security

“We have something to talk about, meaning that we are neighbors.

And now the point is not even this ugly draft law (on the indigenous peoples of Ukraine. -

), but the fact is that when we asked at the administration level what we were supposed to talk about, we received an answer ... In general, it was suggested to talk about international security.

This, of course, is an important aspect of the situation in the world, international security for everyone, including Russia and Ukraine.

But I think that so many problems have accumulated in our bilateral relations that it would be necessary to talk about it, ”said the head of state.

Also during the interview, Vladimir Putin criticized the Ukrainian draft law "On the indigenous peoples of Ukraine", which excludes Russians as the country's indigenous people.

According to Putin, this is not just incorrect, "it is ridiculous and stupid."

The head of state also called Kiev's initiative "a powerful and serious blow to the Russian people as a whole," to which Moscow cannot be indifferent.
