Medvedev explained why Ukraine is not Georgia
Relations between Russia and the United States did not worsen after the conflicts in South Ossetia and Abkhazia the way they did after the events in Ukraine, because other people were already working in the US presidential administration.
The Prime Minister of the Russian Federation (ten years ago during the events in Georgia - the President of the Russian Federation) Dmitry Medvedev stated this in an interview with Kommersant published today.
“These are different situations. And the people there (in the USA - ed.) others are already working: our partners take a completely different position. But the most important thing is that these are simply fundamentally different stories,” Medvedev said.
In his opinion, if the US presidential administration had taken a different position in 2014, the conflict in Ukraine would not have acquired such acute forms.
“With regard to the events that happened in Ukraine, if our partners had shown greater cooperation, if they had not tried to immediately turn the tables on the Russian Federation, but had shown better balance, as was the case, for example, in 2008, the situation would have been much better.” simpler,” Medvedev said.
