The Federation Council responded to the measures proposed in the EP in relation to Russia

The principles for building relations with RUSSIA, listed in the draft report of the European Parliament committee, "cannot but anger a normal person," Sergei Tsekov, member of the Federation Council committee on international affairs, told RBC.

“They call the point of view that is presented in the Russian press about certain events Russian-language propaganda. And what they state, in their opinion, is the truth. In Europe, in my opinion, they have already played too much, their wording contradicts itself, ”said Tsekov.

At the same time, the senator expressed hope that politicians will appear in Europe who will be ready to conduct a dialogue with Russia.

Member of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs Alexander Babakov, in a report to RBC, called the recommendations of the European Parliament "nonsense of a madman." “Such claims are a sign that we are strong, that we are an obstacle for them. it is unlikely that they are an authority for us, which we will have to look back at when making our own decisions,” Babakov said.
