The Kremlin has commented on Ukraine's accession to the EU and NATO

Asked about Ukraine joining the EU, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, “This is the sovereign right of any country,” Reuters reported.

“We are talking about integration, about economic integration processes. And here, of course, no one can dictate anything to any country, and we are not going to do that,” Peskov said.

Peskov added that Russia's position on Ukraine's accession to NATO is different.

“Of course, on security issues related to defense or military alliances, there is a completely different position,” he said.
