Kiev. January 16. INTERFAX-UKRAINE - Ukraine is working closely with its partners and allies to implement a comprehensive package of deterrence of Russia, which includes diplomatic measures, sanctions and defense cooperation, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said.
In an interview with the German edition of Bild, the translation of which was published by the press service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine on Sunday, Kuleba said that the package of deterrence of the Russian Federation "consists of three levels: strong diplomacy for de-escalation, the development of a number of painful economic sanctions, deepening defense cooperation with Ukraine."
