(ANSA) - MOSCOW, JUNE 13 - The relationship between Russia
and Ukraine will be restored regardless of the nature of
relations with Ukrainian elites, Russian president Vladimir
Putin told Mir TV channel in an exclusive interview. "The
rebuilding of our relations is inevitable: what we have today is
not a normal situation between parts of a single people or
between two brother peoples, regardless of our relations with
the elites, even the former political elites, people who gave
priority above all to personal success, personal profit and
preservation of capital accumulated at the expense of the
Ukrainian people, and set aside somewhere abroad".
"I think - Putin added - that this is the reason for their
special love for the West, but, hopefully, the new leadership
has no such restrictions and feels free, relying on the trust it
was given by the people of Ukraine and I think they will be able
to act with energy". Interfax reported. (ANSA).
