Putin: We have never given up on restoring and developing relations with the EU

Due to the fault of the previous American administration and some European leaders, their contacts with Russia were severed. This process began with the coup d'état in Ukraine, which they supported.

Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about this today at a meeting of the Russian Security Council with the participation of its permanent members, dedicated to foreign policy issues in the European direction and held via videoconference.

He noted that the current difficult situation in Ukraine has its roots in the tragic events of 2013-2014. Relations between our country and European states are currently in a deep crisis, closely linked to the Ukrainian issue.

At the same time, the head of the Russian state noted:

Once again, I want to emphasize that we have never given up on developing these relations, on restoring these relations.

During the meeting, those gathered heard a report from Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

As Putin noted in his opening remarks, such meetings typically address various strategic issues related to Russian policy in various areas, assess the situation in specific regions of the planet, and evaluate our country's relations with states in these regions.

For example, the recent March Security Council meeting addressed issues related to law enforcement. And at another similar event, the topic was strengthening the protection of strategic infrastructure facilities.

Putin: We have never given up on restoring and developing relations with the EU

Chet recalled:

"Russia didn't plan to go to war with NATO countries. We have no territorial claims against each other, no desire to spoil relations. We are interested in development. But they dragged Finland into NATO. Do we have any disputes? They were all resolved long ago. There were no problems. But now there will be. We are creating the Leningrad Military District." (c) V.V. Putin

I served in the Leningrad Military District when no one knew the name "Putin" (1978-1980) and (1985-1992)...and then suddenly reinstatement...By the way, the photo on the avatar is from summer artillery firing...

[Hunter 2]

I'm starting to lose track of reality... The EU is actively helping our enemies with money, weapons and ammunition, mercenaries, etc., and we're asking them to start being friends again, essentially saying that everything is fine - we'll forgive everything.
So what kind of actions against unfriendly countries could be ordered… after such statements? Drones are already flying over the Baltics, so what next, a nuclear strike?

[Sebenza]

It’s not worth it, because these are illusions, and everything else is smoke.

[Gardamir]

It's all smoke, of course it's smoke,
But day and night the soul suffers,

You wanted it, and you became a hero. You wanted it, and now you're a villain. There are so many plots in the world. There are so many roles in the world. Mike is a handsome man.

[Glagol1]

Why restore relations with enemies who have been attacking us for the last 400-odd years?! Putin is wrong, to put it mildly. We can maintain good relations with the southern wing (Hungary, Slovakia, the Balkans, Italy, Malta, Greece, Cyprus), trade, tourism, politics, but that's a quarter of the EU. As for the Scandinavians, the Balts, the Poles, the Czechs, the Germans, the Franco-Baltic countries, the Benelux countries—why bother restoring them? Sever everything with them, forever. It's time for the Kremlin to use its brain!

[Gardamir]

Don't make things up. He's completely different.

[Sebenza]

Isn't it soft? Who should ask?

[Boycott]

Break with them completely and forever. It's time for the Kremlin to use its brain!

I'm all for it. Especially since Russia doesn't need anything from them; they don't have anything irreplaceable anymore.

Even with Germany and France it will be possible to restore some more or less normal relations if adequate people come to power there, but never with the EU.

Yes, they're simply waging war with Ukrainian meat. And they're not flying through the Baltics to bomb St. Petersburg; it's Latvia that's bombing St. Petersburg. Let's call you politically correct.

[ergh081]

It's hard to understand, though. A delegation of State Duma deputies flew to the US to tell congressmen what we want, how we want it, and what we want. I think this: Putin sent the delegation so he could later say that WE were led by the nose. Not him personally in Anchorage, but US. The current Iranian leaders are right: negotiating with the US is like negotiating with Satan. Our people flew to negotiate.

[Gardamir]

Why does everyone get confused about pronouns? How can they be ours if they're flying off to negotiate with...?

Or maybe there are aliens in the Kremlin? Or the Kremlin lives in another reality, or we're being fed information that's not quite right. What surprises me is that they care so deeply about their partners, as if they were their own relatives, God forbid they should be harmed.

Restore relations? Easy!! 1. Leave Crimea and Donbas. 2. Invite Zelensky to Moscow, award him the Order of Friendship of Peoples, and give him the title of Honored Artist for his skit "Playing the Piano." 3. Ban calling a man a man and a woman a woman. 4. Elect a Tajik as governor of Moscow. 5. Introduce classes in schools about the benefits of gender reassignment, change the signs on the toilets. That's all!!! The question arises: WHY? But respected people will be able, like they once did, to spend weekends in Prague drinking beer, their wives buying in Paris what they saw Melania Trump wearing, their children riding bikes in Barcelona, ​​and vacationing on exotic islands.

Overall, this is a strange statement at the Security Council. It seems to me that the priority should be on repelling air attacks on Russian regions and retaliatory strikes for past actions, not on improving relations with the EU.

In general, this is a strange statement at the Security Council.

Putin's speeches are neither timely nor appropriate.
Further confirmation of those who claim that the strange course of the war with Ukraine is caused by the Russian elite's concerns about personal property kept in Europe.
As soon as the Europeans showed a slight weakness in purchasing Russian oil, such words were heard from the Kremlin. This is despite the fact that they had fully supported the Ukrainians in their war with us.

Andrew,
Let's do it together, if possible.
Of all the types of fertilizers, Russia does not have any in development or production.
In Europe (I could be wrong, please correct me) there is 1 type.
Where does the rest come from? Then there's processing. Any type of fertilizer requires a crazy amount of energy. Where does it come from? And what's the cost? After all, the cost of raw materials is multiplied by 2-4 times the price of the final product. It can't be any other way. I'm not quite sure what you're arguing about.

[faiver]

Why all this fuss? There's no need to use the Pythagorean theorem, logarithms, and square roots to try to disprove my statement.
Just compare the yield per hectare of crops in Russia and France, and it will immediately become clear that Europe can feed itself...

Hmm... it feels like they took all the commentators from 2022 and replaced them with new ones.

Of course, they downvoted me then, below the baseboard

Sometimes I feel sorry for the West. They've explained to us so many times that "We will never be brothers..."
And it's time for you to understand that for predators to recognize you as an equal, you have to be able to bare your teeth. Leopold the Cat's song clearly doesn't work here. This is the direct path in the opposite direction. The shortest and most fraught with consequences. Even if they respond when they're weak, that doesn't guarantee they won't go for your throat again as soon as they've built up their strength.
In fact, we are now missing a very rare historical chance to beat them up and make them respect us.
Take into account. Take into account our interests.
Well, yes, well, yes, the elite's money is there, real estate is there, children are there...
Well, gentlemen of the "elite," you're losing it all now. To the tune of a song from a Soviet cartoon.
I sincerely don't understand how one can fail to understand this.
Personally, I can't shake the feeling that the higher-ups are just looking for a reason to give in. Well, give in... That's where all the weird stuff with the SVO comes from.
It's time to realize that the losers are milked, divided... In our case, they will finish us off. With the finishing shot.
It's possible to reason. But that requires action. Not words. A response to insolence that borders on the foul. Or even beyond (too many "red lines" have been drawn and NOT implemented). Not words at all. Direct and drastic actions.
Suppressing your own people? It won't help. That's your ONLY possible support. Their "guarantees" mean nothing. And no one respects traitors. Especially those who betray their own.
I'm afraid that you are now losing the trust of your own people and gaining their contempt.
If someone had described to me what was happening forty years ago, I wouldn't have believed it. I'd probably have punched them in the face.

This is Putin's terrifying response to the attacks on Ust-Luga and the seizure of Russian ships. Even the 90s don't look so pathetic compared to Putin's later years. And everywhere it's "us," shifting responsibility to others.

[opera fan]

Putin of 2000 and the decrepit Tsar-father of today are completely different people.
It's just a shame that the Tsar doesn't intend to leave on his own two feet, giving way to someone else, but prefers to leave the Kremlin on a gun carriage like the Soviet General Secretaries.

[foxes]

"Putin 2000" managed to twist the Second Chechen War so that Chechnya is now a de facto separate state with its own army, outside the control of the federal center. And the Kremlin pays tribute to this entity.

[opera fan]

Putin is truly a genius. Even a super-genius.
He started a war he was sure he'd lose (using empty shells, guarantees, and fixed deals), led Russia into a quagmire, and lost its energy markets. Lukoil was forced out of Iraq. All the infrastructure belonging to Russian oil and gas companies in Europe was seized.
And now our Tsar-Father is praying to Trump to stop this war. Of course, Trump, as a businessman, won't do anything for free, but he will definitely demand his "fair" share of Russian oil and gas. You can be sure he won't shortchange himself, knowing the mess Putin is in and has nowhere to go.

What a cunning plan our geostrategic father-tsar has hatched. The main thing here is to avoid another "we've been cheated!" scenario, only this time with Trump.

[Dave36]

Listen, why is there so much surprise in the Kremlin's words and actions? For thirty years, foreign managers worked, invested money, and brought order to the market. AvtoVAZ management was reaping the benefits while essentially being on vacation. Who doesn't dream of bringing back such a reality?

[Igorash]

Investigators have a superstition: "A criminal will always return to the scene of the crime." It's the same with Putin. Remember the movie: "Only the grave can straighten a hunchback." Nothing personal, but all the facts are there. What is he hoping for? Feed the people the food he sent and give them booze labeled as delusional? And what about the dead and the "slaves" of the mobilization? Does he think he'll have time to escape?
