PUTIN STILL WANTS UKRAINE KEPT OUT OF MILITARY BLOCS 🇷🇺🇺🇦
Vladimir Putin says Ukraine’s 🇺🇦 neutral status remains one of Russia’s 🇷🇺 objectives, arguing that Kyiv’s own declaration at independence described Ukraine as a neutral state.
“Ukraine’s neutral status is still among Russia’s goals. Because, gaining independence, Ukraine adopted a declaration. I want to remind you of that.
After all, it gained independence on the basis of this declaration. The declaration says that it is a neutral state.”
Putin is again framing Ukrainian neutrality as something rooted in the country’s founding documents, and therefore as a legitimate Russian demand.
The core dispute remains the same: Moscow says Ukraine should be neutral, while Ukraine insists that its future security arrangements are for Ukrainians to decide.
