Putin: Russia has no conditions for dialogue with EU and predicts Union's collapse

Russian Federation leader Vladimir Putin emphasised that Moscow does not put forward any preconditions for establishing contacts with European Union countries. According to him, Russia is ready to resume interaction both with the Union as a whole and with individual member states.

Dialogue without restrictions

During the conversation, Putin stressed that Russia is interested in joint work, not in destabilising European institutions. "Ми не хочемо розвалювати ЄС, ми хочемо будувати співпрацю. Але хтось забороняє окремим країнам розвивати відносини з Росією" (We do not want to break up the EU, we want to build cooperation. But someone forbids individual countries to develop relations with Russia), he stated.

Forecast regarding the future of the EU

When the host asked whether they should then try to "break up" the EU if individual countries are forbidden, Putin replied that there was no need for it. "Та не треба. Вони самі розваляться" (No, there is no need. They will fall apart on their own), the Russian leader added, expressing his conviction in the independent collapse of the European Union.
