MOSCOW — Prime Minister Vladimir Putin warned the West on Sunday not to meddle in relations between Russia and Ukraine, according to remarks cited by state-run news agencies.
After laying a wreath at the grave of Anton Denikin, who fought against the Red Army after the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution, Putin urged journalists to read Denikin’s diaries, news agencies reported.
"He has a discussion there about Big Russia and Little Russia — Ukraine,” Putin said. "He says that nobody should be permitted to interfere in relations between us, they have always been the business of Russia itself.”
The remarks come amid competition between Russia and the West for influence in Ukraine.
