Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he intends to write an article about the history of Russia and Ukraine. Putin also said that Ukraine is not included in the list of unfriendly countries, since he himself does not consider the Ukrainian people unfriendly. “I have already said this many times and I will repeat it again: I believe that Russians and Ukrainians are generally one people,” Putin said.
The Head of State recalled that Jews from all over the world come to Israel, because the Jewish people value their unity. As another example, the president cited the Mordovian people, consisting of several ethnic groups that differ in language, but consider themselves one people. “Why? Because they are smart, ” Putin said.
