"It is impossible to do with Russia in this way. In addition, Ukraine is a country, which is placed between 2 worlds, half-Russian. If you pull it to one side, you simply tear, and that was, " said the people's choice.
"If We continue with the sanctions of provocation, it increases the chance of bringing to a resumption of the cold war," He said.
