Putin Says Russia Has Never Opposed Ukraine Joining EU

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sept 2 that Moscow had never opposed Ukraine’s potential membership of the European Union, and that he thought it was possible to find a consensus on ensuring the security of both Russia and Ukraine.

Speaking in China during a visit, Putin said claims by European leaders that Russia would one day attack deeper into Europe were “hysteria” and “horror stories”, Reuters reported.

In the case of Ukraine in 2022, Russia was forced, said Putin, to react to the West’s attempt with the help of the NATO military alliance to try to absorb the entire post-Soviet space given its security implications for Moscow.

“As for Ukraine’s membership of the EU, we have never objected to this,” Putin told Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico at talks in China. “As for NATO, this is another issue.”

Putin said that he had discussed Ukraine’s security at his Aug 15 summit in Alaska with US President Donald Trump.

“There are options for ensuring Ukraine’s security in the event of an end to the conflict,” Putin said. “And it seems to me that there is an opportunity to find consensus here.”
