Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said in an interview with Mezhdunarodnaya Politika magazine that his country had finally severed relations with the “Russian world”.

“Negotiations in the Normandy format and Minsk “are far from easy and very boring. Kiev is open to creative solutions and intends to insist on concrete steps to achieve progress in the peace process. At the same time, Kiev in no case will deviate from two fundamental principles.

Firstly, Ukraine will never abandon either Crimea or Donbass. And secondly, Ukraine will continue its path as a European country, as a part of the West, because its break with the “Russian world” is final. Ukraine’s belonging to the Euro-Atlantic West is irreversible”, - said the Minister.
