Vladimir Chizhov’s permanent representative of Russia at the European Union stated that the EU is not ready to build normal relations with Russia. The words of the diplomat quotes Interfax.
Chizhov reminded that at the last summit, the leaders of the Alliance offered the European Commission to submit options for measures in response to the possible actions of Russia. It was including economic sanctions. According to the EU’s postpraught with the EU, after such a discussion it was also possible to offer decisions to facilitate the normalization of relations between our country with European partners. “And by itself the policy of the so-called sanctions is the way to nowhere, the testimony of the intellectual poverty of those who are inventing all this,” he said.
Diplomat noted that the statements about openness to the dialogue sounded repeatedly, but this is not enough. According to him, for this you need the political will of the European Union “reversal a negative trend, and there is currently no it.”
Earlier, Chizhov called the relationship with the EU with a tendency to further degradation.
