"The EU powers are greatly tempted to advance and dominate Russia economically. This can be seen, once again, with this resolution. The Russian market and its natural resources are not only attractive, but also necessary to them.
Every political, economic and diplomatic tool has been used: from enlargement of the EU and North Atlantic Treaty Organisation up to Russia’s borders to economic and political pressure, including interference. Capitalist Russia, which inherited the achievements and gains of socialism, has transformed into a global economic power with its own interests, leading inevitably to conflicts between empires.
As the conflicting interests between capitalist powers come into confrontation, the EU reiterates that the ‘supply of natural resources must not be used as a political tool’. After all, its energy dependency is well known. It also welcomes the completion of Russia’s accession to the World Trade Organisation and its agenda of global free trade. The fact that it highlights electoral fraud is not so much for genuine democratic concerns as to facilitate political changes favourable to its own interests, as it did in other countries of Eastern Europe."@en1
