The intention of the Ukrainian authorities to build a wall on the border with Russia will make it impossible to restore bilateral relations, said the head of the Russian presidential administration Sergei Ivanov. “Construction of the wall, in my opinion, make it impossible to do the restoration of some relationships,” – said Ivanov in an interview to “Rossiyskaya Gazeta».

The head of the Kremlin administration expressed confidence that “no wall will not be eventually. ” “The rhetoric of rhetoric, and life is life. When I was in the beginning of summer in the Rostov region, this is what I noticed: pretty much just our people have taken in refugees without any conditions, sharing with them shelter, food, clothing, asking nothing in return. Our citizens do not consider Ukrainians strangers, do not take them as foreigners, “- he added. If the refugees were from another country, then this would not be, says Ivanov.

He cited data from the United Nations, according to which Russia had about 800 thousand. Refugees from the south-east of Ukraine, and according to experts – about one million. “It seems that in addition to Russia nobody cares” – said Ivanov, adding that “if it was not Ukraine, came to the universal howl about the humanitarian catastrophe».

In response to the question of how to overcome anti-Russian and anti-Ukrainian sentiments in the two countries, Ivanov said that “here takes time and work, this in itself will not resolve.” The same applies to interstate relations, he added.

«It is necessary to create the conditions. Take, for example, the so-called plan Yatsenyuk, construction of the wall … I’m a big fan of Pink Floyd and one of the greatest music of the last century I think the album The Wall, in which filmed. Who has not seen, I advise you to look, and who saw me easily understand there about the wall, everything is clear, “- said the head of the Kremlin administration.

In June 2014 the Council of National Security and Defense Council decided to produce in unilateral demarcation of the border with Russia and to begin construction of protective structures along it. NSDC Secretary Andrew Paruby said that the strengthening of borders must be “in accordance with the current threats to national security.” In September, the Cabinet has allocated the first 100 million hryvnia ($ 7.7 million) for the project “The Wall”. Announcing the start of construction, the Prime Minister of Ukraine Yatsenyuk noted that this project will help increase employment. “I’ll give an indication that the announced invitation to people’s recruitment for the project,” – said the prime minister.

Arguing about possible solutions to the Ukrainian crisis, the head of administration of the Russian president noted that important steps in this direction have already been made. “And the main thing here is not only the peace plan of our president. I think the president and Poroshenko became aware that the war to the bitter end, that is, until recently, a Ukrainian, he does not need “- said Ivanov.

He recalled that the Ukrainian government has adopted a package of laws “give a chance to resolve the conflict”, which should contribute to the further development of peaceful dialogue. “In any case, the Ukrainian government to be a titanic work. And how many years it will take, I do not know. But this problem of Ukraine, not Russia “, – concluded the head of the Kremlin administration.
