Russia is based on the fact that it is based on the grounds and claims that they are accepted and it does not require that Ukraine is handed over, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated within the framework of the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
He also claimed the position that the Russians and Ukrainians are one people, so it can be considered that "all Ukraine is ours."
"I have said many times that I really consider the Russians and Ukrainians to be one people. In this sense, the whole of Ukraine is ours, "Putin said, answering the question where the Russian army could reach.
After this announcement, the Russian President added that Moscow has never questioned the right of the independence and sovereignty of the Ukrainian people.
Commenting on the claim that Russia's position on the Ukrainian conflict is the same as the position of US President Donald Trump on the need for capitulation in the Iranian nuclear program, Putin stressed. "This situation is not the same, it is significantly different."
