President of Russia Vladimir Putin hopes that under the new President Volodymyr Zelensky his country will restore relationships with Ukraine, as he said in an interview for Russian TV channel Mir.
“I think it (the new leadership of the Ukrainian state, - ed.) can act energetically and towards the restoration of the relationships between Ukraine and Russia, towards the solution of the problems inside of the country,” Putin said.
He expressed hope that the new authority in Ukraine “will not hide behind” anti-Russian ideas trying to avoid inner problems of the country, in particular, those in the economy and social sphere.
Putin is sure that the restoration of Russian-Ukrainian relationships is unavoidable.
Earlier, Russia’s President stated that he did not refuse from contacts with Zelensky.
