Former President Leonid Ukrainian Kuchma wrote an article for LB.ua stating that he could not imagine in a “nightmare” that Ukraine would be united by Russian President Vladimir Putin. He noted that he grew up in a Soviet environment where everything was Ukrainian fringe. “Being a Ukrainian was usually allowed for something that was treated arrogantly or even ironically.” Salo and hopak, “Kuchma remarked.

Kuchma himself has always sympathized with the Ukrainian, although he himself remained Soviet. He is even ready to be one of the “red directors”. But soon his views began to change. It happened in the late 1980s. “Back in February 1990, at the plenary session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, I called for the full economic and political sovereignty of Ukraine,” Kuchma writes.

The former president writes that Russia helped the Ukrainians to realize themselves as an independent nation. “Even in the nightmare, I could not imagine that the president who would finally unite the Ukrainian people would be Putin,” Kuchma stressed. However, he agrees with Putin in his warning that Ukraine could turn into an “anti-Russian” one. After all, it means that you will have to develop purely on the negative, to be a reflection of something.

Ukraine should always remain itself, its main value is independence. And European integration does not make much sense as a construction, because Europe is “several” and Europe is constantly changing and in different directions. “Independence is something that is definitely worth living for,” Kuchma added.
