Kyiv • UNN
The Head of the Office of the President stated that Ukraine should maintain good or neutral relations with its neighbors, guided by cold calculation to protect its own interests. He separately highlighted the issue of relations with Russia.
Ukraine needs to have good or at least neutral relations with its neighbors, but at the same time, there must be a cold calculation to defend its own interests. This was stated by the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, during an open conversation with students of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, reports UNN.
Details
How should Ukraine build relations with neighboring countries in the future? In my opinion, we should take as a basis the medieval wisdom: with those who live nearby, one must have good or at least neutral relations. And here a cold calculation is needed to defend one's own interests. How we are to continue living next to that territory which today is called "russia" is a separate question
Recall

Budanov also stated about a possible new exchange in the near future.
