"Mr President, I voted in favour of the motion for a resolution, but I do not think it goes far enough. It mentions shortcomings and discrepancies in the preparation and implementation of the elections. I firmly believe, however, that these elections were manipulated. I grew up under communism, and I know what it means when voter turnout comes close to 100%. Such a turnout was recorded in many regions of Russia. The EU can be a strong global player only if it refuses to be blackmailed. We may be dependent on Russian gas and oil, but Russia is also dependent on the billions that we pay for these raw materials. I would therefore like to say to Mr Putin that this Parliament will be keeping a close eye on his next steps, and if he proceeds to repress peacefully demonstrating citizens, we are prepared to take concrete measures, as in the case of Belarus."@en1
