U.S. envoy says Russia is seen as an aggressor in Europe, in the United States, and around the world.
Russian President Vladimir Putin could change the image he presents to the rest of the world, U.S. Special Representative for Ukraine Negotiations Kurt Volker said.
"Well, I do think it's possible that he can change the image that he's presenting to the world. Right now, in Europe, in the United States, around the world, Russia is seen as an aggressor. It is frozen out of certain dialogues, we don't see an improvement in U.S.-Russia relations, we don't see an improvement in EU-Russia relations, there are sanctions levied against Russia," Volker told RFE/RL.
