It is difficult for Russia to establish relations with Ukraine: it is not clear who is for power and who is in the opposition, Zhirinovsky believes

Meanwhile, the chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) Vladimir Zhirinovsky in an interview with UNIAN said that the leadership of Russia is difficult to establish relations with Ukraine due to an indefinite political situation in this country.

"Your situation is the same as it was from 1917 to 1921. It is not clear what political forces for power and who are in the opposition. Therefore, it is difficult for the President of the Russian Federation. After all, giving an assessment, we must support someone or put our claim to someone," Zhirinovsky said.

In his opinion, "Ukraine is an artificial state, which is an object of influence of different countries." "Ukraine was given by the Communists ... Your territory is a third of today's Ukraine," he said.

At the same time, the head of the LDPR noted that good -neighborly relations with Ukraine are very important for Russia: "For me personally, Ukraine is not a foreign state. There are my roots, there is the whole family of my father ... I believe that the future is still a division of Ukraine into the eastern and western parts."
