“Reconciliation with the Ukrainian people is inevitable, but it is only a matter of time,” said Russian President Vladimir Putin In an interview for the documentary “Russia. Cremlin. Putin. Twenty -five years”.
“I think it is inevitable. Despite the whole tragedy we are experiencing now. It is only a matter of time,” said Putin replying to the question if it is possible “a reconciliation with the Ukrainian part of the Russian people in the future”. “Russia – he added – did not start a special operation in Ukraine before because he believes in the Minsk agreements and wants to peacefully solve the problem of Donbass”.
“I often think of my successor, but the Russians will decide”
Vladimir Putin has assured that he continually wonders about who can one day take his place. “I always think about it,” said Putin in a television documentary to celebrate the anniversary produced by the Rossiya 1 television channel. “But in the end they are entitled to the people, the Russian people, to the citizens, to the voters to choose,” he added.
