".
The strategic relevance of relations between the EU and the Russian Federation is undeniable, and the ongoing initiatives to promote and institutionalise those relations are to be welcomed.
Indeed, common borders and interests combine to create an enlarged area of understanding, given the mutual interest in maintaining permanent dialogue on the fields proposed for the four common spaces, the common economic space; the common space of freedom, security and justice; the common space of cooperation in the field of external security; the common space of research, education and culture.
That is not to overlook the worrying signs in the area of human rights and civil liberties that have come to light in Russia, as regards political processes and procedures and the question of Chechnya. The same can also be said of Moscow’s disastrous interventions, recently in Ukraine and previously in Georgia and Belarus, which have done nothing to benefit the political processes of those countries.
I note and appreciate the desire shown by Russia to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Second World War, but I completely reject the manner in which the victory for democracy and freedom is compared with the criminal totalitarian subjugation to which all peoples to the east of the iron curtain were subjected."@en1
