Peskov: Ukraine’s Accession to the EU Is a Sovereign Right, It Is not a Military Alliance

Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian President, said this to journalists. “This is the sovereign right of any country. We are talking about integration and economic processes, and here, of course, no one can dictate anything to any country. We’re not going to do that,” he said, quoting rbc.ru. However, Moscow adheres to a “completely different” position on issues related to security, defense or military alliances, Peskov stressed. “That’s another question, and I’'s well known to everyone,” he concluded.
