Ключові положення Доповіді Європейського Парламенту щодо стану політичних відносин ЄС – РФ стосовно України:
📌ЄП наголошує на подальший твердості і послідовності ЄС у підтриманні санкцій щодо РФ, які будуть продовжуватися доти, доки РФ порушує міжнародне право.
📌ЄС не може розглядати поступового відновлення відносин з Росією, поки вона повністю не імплементує Мінські домовленості і не відновить територіальну цілісність України; у цьому контексті ЄП закликає до критичного і всеохоплюючого перегляду ЄС своїх відносин з РФ.

14 Jul, 2017
This is well known fact that Iran possesses significant volumes of the deposits of the natural gas and oil. After lifting serious restrictive measures imposed on Iran by the European Union and the US more than twenty years ago, now this country begins recovering and slowly winning its own place on the European oil and gas market. It brings some very concrete threats for Russian energy companies.
Further expansion of the European Union towards the Balkan region is still going on, even despite of the tremendous geopolitical shits in the light of the Russian military aggression against Ukraine. As it was anticipated long time ago, the official Brussels is stuck to the position that Balkans should be definitely covered by the EU flag. It undoubtedly means that short-term European perspective for other Eastern European countries seems as far away.
