===== ALEXIS TSIPRAS ON UKRAINE (May 2014, Moscow) ====== (..) Distancing himself from the international recognition of Ukraines government by the EU, the US and the UN, ALEXIS TSIPRAS clearly rejected the legitimacy of the interim government on the grounds that fascist elements are serving in it. It is a regression for us to see fascism and the neonazis entering European governments again and for this to be accepted by the EU, TSIPRAS stressed. Filling out his complete rejection of the international communitys handling of the Ukraine crisis, TSIPRAS denounced international sanctions against Moscow, which he said will only harm Europe. He added that the EU is shooting itself in the foot with this strategy, and we ask for there not to be any military operation or activity and for there to begin a dialogue and diplomacy toward finding a solution. But he also maintained that Ukraine must become a bridge between the EU and Russia, and not an area of division.
