Leonid Slutsky: “The head of European diplomacy Josep Borrell again accused Russia of intending to” sow discord “among the countries of the Old World”


Again, all the same and from the same. The search for an external enemy to justify their own miscalculations and centrifugal tendencies within the EU, unfortunately, has become a constantly working formula in Brussels.

But Mr. Borrell is partly right – Russia will not change, it will not change its foreign policy course. Only one thing I did not take into account – Moscow does not need any discord in Europe, especially against the background of such challenges as the coronavirus pandemic or the situation in Afghanistan.

Russia is part of the European continent, and quite large. We are not the initiator of the collapse of the dialogue. Lowering the level of cooperation with the EU is not our choice. “
