In an interview with Finnish media outlets Helsingin Sanomat and Iltalehti, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko noted that the EU countries had benefits from the EU membership and only Russia wanted to split the EU, the presidential administration reported.
“Who doesn’t have benefits from the existence of the EU? France has benefits, just as Germany and Great Britain, even despite Brexit. Finland as well. And Russia directs forces to weaken the EU. Putin wants to undermine credibility and split the EU by exercising impact on individual states,” Petro Poroshenko said.
