bitte komplett zitieren! In derselben Rede:
"You want to establish a state of your own: you are welcome! "
und die genannte Passage lässt sich im Kontext etwas differenzierter beurteilen:
"We respect the Ukrainian language and traditions. We respect Ukrainians' desire to see their country free, safe and prosperous.
I am confident that true sovereignty of Ukraine is possible only in partnership with Russia."
