Poroshenko: Russia always used democracy of neighbours in its own interests

"Russia has always used the advantages of democratic systems in neighbouring states in order to absorb them: from the time of Novgorod and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and ending with Central Europe after the World War II," the Head of State said. The President stressed that even now shattering of the situation in our state from within was one of the methods of the Kremlin's hybrid war against Ukraine.
