According to the analyst, coolness in Russia?s attitude towards Ukraine is seen today. "Russians prefer to keep distance in their relations with Ukraine, no proximity, no getting mushy, no tears, no nostalgia or any other sentimental mood. It is high time to comprehend that there are no brothers and sisters any longer," Karasev said. According to him, Ukraine poses no interest to Russia any longer. "Russia is looking on the global architecture and its place in it; its view is turned to the East, in the USA and Europe. it, as it has only regional importance," the analyst notes.
According to Karasev, Russia can be interested in three aspects only: "if there is no stability in Ukraine, which can become a reason for Russia?s head ache, effectiveness of its gas transit - to secure sustainability of Russia-EU relations and that Ukraine does not take the way of Poland and Czechia in placing anti-missile systems in its territory," the expert says. In the rest of things, according to Karasev, "coolness, alienation and even loathing" are ruling in the Ukrainian and Russian relations.
