President Poroshenko: Russia’s goal to split Europe

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said this in his speed during the European People’s Party (EPP) Congress in Malta, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

“Europe’s adversaries won’t rest. The anti-EU forces are still on the move. Russia will do its utmost to push the EU off the cliff. The Kremlin never gave up on attempts to build an “alternative” Europe,” President Poroshenko said.

He also emphasized that they will spread uncertainty and distrust in societies and added that “Russia is guided by the main and key principle - divide et impera”.

“The Kremlin’s goal is to split Europe and to water down the values. As long as this goal stands – the idea of EU and Russia getting strong together is an illusion. You can’t get strong together with someone who has zero-sum thinking. And the Kremlin has only one rule: Russia must be on the top,” Petro Poroshenko said.
