Moscow, September 15 (Interfax) - Moscow and Kyiv need to avoid any ideology-driven approaches in their relations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in Moscow on Wednesday.
"In modern-day conditions, each country should be de-ideologized and pragmatic, and should do things that will actually bring tangible benefits to ordinary people," he said.
Lavrov said he was confident that cooperation between Russia and Ukraine could and should be mutually beneficial.
"The broader use of our advantages will help both Russia and Ukraine seriously improve their competitiveness amid present-day globalization processes worldwide," the Russian foreign minister said.
