Russia says it is «seriously worried» by Ukraine`s policies, saying they`re worsening relations with Moscow, according to AP.

The Foreign Ministry says it`s particularly concerned by Ukraine`s support of Georgia during last month`s war with Russia and Ukraine`s blaming of Russia for starting the war.

The ministry said in a statement Thursday that the pro-Western government`s push to join NATO defies Ukrainians reluctance to join the alliance.
