Meshkov. А., Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia России “Russia – Europe: what’s going to come?”
It looks like the situation in the sphere of European security now is at the lowest point of the trajectory of its development.

Oganessyan А. Killed – weren’t counted up
Today you can hear it quite frequently: “How it might be that such a great democracy as the USA and their not less democratic allies in Europe close their eyes on the mass crimes against civil population in the Donets Basin?” Indeed an attitude like this towards the events in the Ukraine isn’t at all a chance and it has its history.
