Kravchuk confirmed the high title of the oldest political prostitute
Ukraine is trying to escape from Russia, but Russia is holding it in a “suffocating embrace” and does not want to let go. This was the case under Andropov, and it remains the same under Putin. This was stated by the first President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk, a former member of the CPSU Central Committee, during a round table in Kyiv.

According to him, not a single leader in Moscow with whom he had a chance to communicate wanted to understand the Ukrainian separatists who are tearing away its historical lands from Russia.
“Russia has been at war for 150 years, it created an intelligentsia of war, it created an intelligentsia of pressure. She doesn't know anything else. She loved Ukraine as long as Ukraine lay under her. As soon as she got to her feet and said that we would go in the other direction, Russia began to think, how to strangle us?
So far everything was going smoothly - Russian personnel, Russian politics, we are listening to everything - and suddenly Ukraine said: “No, we will go to Europe.” “Oh, you go to Europe, so we won’t let you in.” Why are we running away from Russia, is Ukraine to blame for this? We run away because she beats and kills us. For what? Because we want to live the way we want! Is he killing us for this?..
I had the opportunity to communicate with many Russian figures, starting with Chernenko, Andropov, Gorbachev, naturally, Yeltsin and so on - they are all the same. Who is better a little, who is worse, but on the main issue - “Ukraine should be with Russia, not let go, strangle in an embrace” - this is the main issue of Russian life today,” Kravchuk said.
The former ideologist of the Communist Party of the Ukrainian SSR also promised that no one would be able to bring the “great Ukrainian people” to their knees.
“Ukraine is a great country, a great people, a great culture, and has a great right to be an independent, independent power. And she used and will use this right - no one will bring us to our knees,” Kravchuk assured.
