There is nothing wrong, but the fact that it’s not only the year of Russia in France, but also a year of Kyivan Rus’ in France. At the first glance, it’s difficult to understand what’s the problem. But the problem is that for French people the word Rus’ and Russia are synonyms. So in this way the historical truth is distorted. Since Ukraine is the heart of Rus’, and is the place where began Kyivan Rus’. Kyiv was its capital, as is now the capital of Ukraine.
On the Louvre’s request to send exponents, Ukrainian museums refused to provide this exhibition with their exponents, organized by Louvre under the name of “Holy Russia”. In such a way Ukrainians are boycotting the historical injustice.
The French people believe in “twins” Ukraine and Russia. They do believe that this two nations are fraternal (see the same people). But let’s imagine the situation if the French said that the Roman Empire is the Motherland of France? And the Italians, Spaniards, Romanians and other nations are fraternal or are the same people?
In my opinion, the French people are so arrogant to learn more on this question. For them, pro-Russian information of the French government and mass media are the only truth.
The attitude to my state and people insults me.

“Recognizing that Ukraine as a European country shares a common history and common values with the countries of the European Union, acknowledging the European aspirations of Ukraine and welcoming its European choice…” with such a phrase begins joint declaration of XIII Ukraine – EU Summit.

Involuntarily the question arises, what have been doing the EU representatives with their Ukrainian counterparts last 12 Summits? Probably they were determining that Ukraine is not an African country.

Being serious, Ukraine seeks to sign an agreement on Association and the agreement on a Free Trade Area (FTA) with the EU. And as usual, nothing significant is signed, the general phrases are declared.

I’m wondering, how many Summits more we will organize to cancel the visa regime, to sign and to implement the FTA and the agreement on Association. Place your bets ladies and gentlemen…

Now the second event, not less offensive versus Ukraine. The same day, Montenegro joined the Membership Action Plan in NATO (MAP). I wonder, what criteria the NATO is guided are… Ukraine, with its armed forces, and Montenegro. Who has the best armed forces? Probably Ukraine has.

By the way, I’d like to admit, when Romania joined the NATO, its armed forces was using the MIG-17, old planes, which Ukraine is not using already about 30 years. Probably, Ukraine can’t get the MAP, because NATO is afraid of Russia. So, let’s say “thank you” our northern neighbor.
