Quotes about: Attitude

• The attitude of the West and of Russia towards a crisis like Ukraine is diametrically different. The West is trying to establish the legality of any established border. For Russia, Ukraine is part of the Russian patrimony. A Russian state was created around Kiev about 1,200 years ago.

The ideal solution would be to have a Ukraine like Finland or Austria that can be a bridge between these two rather than an outpost.
