Quote: "Classic hypocritical Russia. Yesterday the Kremlin was against Ukraine being in NATO, but not in the EU, and now it is dead set against the EU.

This proves once again that any  words from Moscow are not worth not only the paper they are written on, but also the time to talk about them. The good news is that the world no longer cares about the opinion of barbarians and looters."

Background: On Thursday, Dmitriy Polyansky said that Russia's position on the possible entry of Ukraine into the EU has changed and has become similar to the position on Ukraine's entry into NATO.
