National Security and Defense Council Secretary of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov has said that nobody asked Russian President Vladimir Putin at the time when the borders of Ukraine have been shaping.

"Regarding the last statement of Putin, when he in public doubted all the borders, which have been shaped after the World War II. Thus, during his speech in Kremlin he in public casted doubt on that from his point of view Donbas was mistakenly passed into possession of Ukraine. First of all, nobody asked Putin when the borders of the Ukrainian state have been shaping. Secondly, such public statements are a basis for so to say military aggression against our state. This is a leader of the country, which casts doubt on all the borders of Europe, which have been shaped after World War II," Turchynov said during the meeting with the leadership of Ukroboronprom in Kyiv on Tuesday.

As reported, on January 25 2016, Russian President Vladimir Putin called it a nonsense a reason due to which Donbas at Soviet times was passed to Ukraine. According to him, Lenin called for "the USSR to be formed on the basis of full equality with the right to exit the Soviet Union, and that was the time bomb under the building of our statehood," Putin said.

"The way the borders were defined was completely arbitrary and not always justified. Donbas, for example, was handed over to Ukraine. Under what pretext? To raise the percentage of proletariat in Ukraine so as to have greater social support there. Nonsense," Putin said t a plenary session of his All-Russia People's Front in Stavropol.
