lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the summit in Helsinki took place against a very serious background. According to information from Moscow, the Red Cross is now, in anticipation of the winter, preparing new deliveries of aid for people in need throughout the Russian polar region. At the same time, the World Bank and the UNDP are talking of growing poverty, increasing social maladjustment and record youth unemployment in Russia. The fact that social destitution constitutes fertile ground for populists and extremists and for ethnic and religious conflicts is something we can see right now with appalling clarity in Chechnya and neighbouring regions where warlords and criminal clans are feathering their nests at the expense of the civilian population. There seems to be no end to the blood bath in Chechnya. Close on 200,000 innocent people have been forced to flee, and Dagestan is being ever more destabilised. It may be that our best intentions where Russia is concerned will in fact run into a lot of difficulties and be threatened by on-going crisis. In other words, “ . No-one within the EU is recommending an independent Chechnya. We cannot accept terrorist acts, but nor can we accept a military solution to this crisis. We demand that Russia initiate negotiations with Chechnya’s elected President without unrealistic prior conditions and that the aid which the EU has also promised should actually get through. Yesterday, Prime Minister Putin got the Duma to approve an appropriation of a billion dollars for the war effort in Chechnya. My question to the Council and the Commission is this: will you see to it that Russian aggression in Chechnya is not partly financed from international sources?"@en1
