lpv:translated text	"Mr President, President Putin’s vulgar outburst in conjunction with the EU summit was not particularly surprising. He is desperate, because Russia’s situation is desperate. States in crisis are keen to find a scapegoat – in Russia’s case the Chechens. Naturally, we must condemn the Russian massacre in Chechnya, but we must not forget our own complicity in Russia’s tragedy. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Western experts poured into Moscow, including Sweden’s Anders Åslund, and recommended shock therapy. In 500 days Russia was to do what China had been tackling for . The result was naturally mass poverty, a decline in production, lower average life expectancy and Mafia domination. We should recognise our part in Russia’s crisis and Russia’s chaos. Therefore, we should also treat Russia in the same way that we treat other European countries such as Turkey, and make it clear that the country has the right, on the same terms as other European countries, to full EU membership if it so desires and if all the conditions are met."@en1
