Alexander Kuranov. Official Kiev is concerned about statements by Czech President Milos Zeman on the situation in Ukraine, said on the first day of the weekend in the evening in a conversation with the Head of the Ukrainian foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin.
" We are concerned about some recent remarks by Czech President, which concerned, in particular, Crimea. But We do not associate them with the views of the majority of ordinary Czechs, " said Klimkin.
Zeman, for example, stated that the Crimea is lost to Ukraine: " in the end, he never belonged to Ukraine in Addition to the period when the then, a little strange, the leader of the Soviet Union Nikita Khrushchev gave it as a gift to Ukraine ".
in addition, not so long ago Zeman led a comparison of the conflict in the East of Ukraine's civil war, 1937-1939 in Spain and said that makes no sense in these circumstances to provide economic assistance to Kiev.
" Mr. Zeman, the Czech leader, of course, can make whatever statements. But for us it is important that their individual performances and their interpretation is gathered together. Not to rise to doubts about Ukraine, its sovereignty and control of its borders and the value of our European course, " he said in an interview for Czech TV Klimkin.
at the same time Klimkin refuted possible version about the fact that Kiev would not have been happy about a possible arrival Zeman. The head of the Ukrainian foreign Ministry recalled that Zeman and the head of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko met a week ago in Bratislava and discussed the causes of the Ukrainian fall and its current stage. In addition, Poroshenko will arrive in Prague at the end of January to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz at the invitation of Zeman.
