Leonid Slutsky: “Vladimir Putin’s article” Be open despite the past “in the German newspaper Die Zeit is a must-read”


Leonid Slutsky:

“The article of Vladimir Putin” Being open despite the past “, published in the German newspaper Die Zeit and dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, is a must-read.

I will allow just a few quotes: “Now the entire system of European security has seriously degraded. Tensions are growing, and the risks of a new arms race are becoming real. We are missing the huge opportunities that cooperation gives us, especially since it is so important now, when we are all faced with common challenges – a pandemic and its dire socio-economic consequences … Russia is in favor of restoring a comprehensive partnership with Europe. We have many topics of mutual interest. These are security and strategic stability, healthcare and education, digitalization, energy, culture, science and technology, solving climate and environmental problems … Our common and indisputable goal is to ensure continental security without dividing lines, a single space of equal cooperation and universal development for the sake of the prosperity of Europe and the world as a whole ”.

I hope that the European partners will hear the calls of the President of Russia and draw the right conclusions, without looking back at the Far West and guided by the common goals of peace, stability and security on the continent.
