"Mr President, this morning, a journalist called me from Moscow and asked the question: where did I think the Russian Federation would be by the end of President Putin’s term of office? I think it was an essential question; nevertheless, we politicians cannot really deal with predictions like that, but should take very concrete steps.
The resolution which we voted on today – and I voted in favour – is exactly such a step towards supporting, and showing our solidarity with, Russian citizens, civil society and the political opposition, who are fighting for their constitutional rights in their own country.
I hope that our support is very meaningful in terms of their further activities. It is symbolic, also, that we are once again discussing the Russian Federation at our first part-session this autumn, together with Vice-President/High Representative Catherine Ashton. I hope more concrete steps will be taken soon to implement the ‘Magnitsky list’ by introducing visa bans and imposing sanctions on the assets of those who are abusing rights and misusing the judicial system for political ends."@en1
