Russian President Vladimir Putin considers the restoration of the Soviet Union impossible. About this, the Russian leader said during the annual straight line.
“Restore the Soviet Union is meaningless, it is impossible for a variety of reasons and even inexpedient, meaning demographic processes in a number of republics of the former Soviet Union,” Putin quotes TASS.
“Otherwise, we can face social issues that it will be impossible to solve, and [the problems] of the erosion of the state-forming ethnic core,” explained Putin.
In this context, the head of the Russian state wondered, “what to do in Russia itself, as belonging to the realities of the geopolitical situation.” “Despite all those loss that I said, Russia remains in the territory of the largest country in the world, although a significant part of the territory lies in the northern latitudes, and this is important. I mean the northern seaway and a lot more,” drew attention Putin.
