The fundamental principle of the Ukrainian policy for the future should be the conclusion from the latest events in Georgia and Russia’s response to them that any dependence on Russia is a threat to national security of the state, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin has said.
“The main conclusion from the Georgian events: to depend on Russia at least in some way is a threat to national security. This should become the fundamental principle of our entire policy for the future,” Klimkin wrote on Monday evening in his Twitter account.
As reported, on June 20 riots occurred in Tbilisi, caused by the arrival of a delegation of Russian deputies in Georgia to participate in the General Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly on Orthodoxy (IAO). It was headed by State Duma Deputy Sergei Gavrilov (Communist Party faction). The meeting was held in the building of the Georgian parliament, and Gavrilov took the place of the speaker, which caused at first protests of Georgian deputies, and then unrest in the capital of the country.
