"Mr President, Georgia is not just another international crisis to which the EU has to respond. It signals Russia’s military comeback, heralded by its offensive energy supply policy initiated in 2006. The EU is caught between principles and economic interests. Upholding the former would imply a readiness to sacrifice the latter. Conversely, giving priority to the latter would imply a major loss of face. In its turn, Russia is equally caught between the profits from its energy sales to the West and respect for international legality. The latter cannot be disrespected with impunity. That is the message our leaders should convey to Moscow loudly and clearly. It would be a major waste for the entire international community if Russia chose to invest its newly-acquired energies in a futile attempt to restore the bipolar world, instead of associating itself with shaping the new, multipolar, globalised one."@en1
