Everyone in my country understands that Russia cannot do without Europe and that, vice versa, Europe cannot do without Russia. We depend on cooperation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We, Russia, are prepared to work with others. I am convinced that stability and security in Europe cannot be considered without taking Russia into account.
If I correctly understand the goal of American policy, one wishes Russia to be a partner.
Russia is a part of European culture. Therefore, it is with difficulty that I imagine NATO as an enemy.
Europe has united, China is growing speedily and Russia possesses immense power in terms of fuel resources. The US administration cannot do anything about it.
Russia will occupy most of the good food lands of central Europe while we have the industrial portions. We must find some way of persuading Russia to play ball.
In my view, Russia has not been a particularly collaborative player on the world stage.
We still believe that if the Russian Federation and the United States bring their minds together, we can develop a common system which would be efficient in protecting the Euro-Atlantic region from threats coming outside this region.
We live in a dangerous world, and Russia has not complied with existing treaties.
The purpose of the European Union expansion is to bring stability to the East, and ultimately, that stability will come to Russia. There is no long term reason that Russia can't be part of the same peaceful community of nations.
Russia does not want confrontation of any kind. And we will not take part in any kind of 'holy alliance.'
