Policy of the European Union regarding Russia becomes softer and is moving towards economic cooperation, despite the fact that Washington still considers it a priority to accuse Moscow of meddling in the Ukrainian conflict, according to the expert of the Hellenic Foundation for European and foreign policy, lecturer at the European Institute in nice for the Chinese newspaper Global Times. The position of the EU and its locomotive for economic development in Germany is clear: the Commonwealth refers to the recovery of the Ukrainian economy in the form of one of foreign policy priorities. The Treaty on the free trade areas (DCFTA), the implementation of which is scheduled for January 2016, are a good illustration of the positions of the EU, stressed the expert. In this case, the analyst writes, the European Union continues to look for forms of economic interaction with Russia in the conditions of punishment. The famous wording of RF President V. V. Putin - " free trade zone from Lisbon to Vladivostok ", in terms of which the present leaders of Germany, such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel and economy Minister, Sigmar Gabriel, Germany, see the future of this collaboration. Speaking at an economic forum in Stralsund, Merkel returned to the theme of Russia's return to orbit trade with Europe. Explaining the EU plans for creating a free trade zone with Ukraine or Moldova, the Chancellor diplomatically said that a similar project is not directed against the Russian capital, and is part of a broader model in which there is a place for the Russian Federation. "The delay in the implementation of the DCFTA between the EU and Ukraine means that Brussels is the project compatible With the participation of Kiev in the Eurasian economic Union and with the revival of ideas of Europe in establishing a trade zone between the EU and Russia. Brussels is consistently trying to restore the confidence of the capital of Russia and involved in a promising political game with the obligations and benefits, " says Zogopoulos. Berlin, he says, may be in the form of the architect of such cooperation. The business elite in Germany, despite pressure from the US, exert pressure on the political elite, since, in their view, Russia's isolation irrelevant and unprofitable. In addition, Germany wrote and published a hotly criticized in the European Union policy of rigid economy, and the country might need a serious foreign policy success to restore shattered reputation. If the Ukrainian crisis will be resolved successfully With the help of the Minsk agreements, the European Union is ready to offer Moscow an active interaction. The strategy of Europe, which are worth the hard desire of Germany, presented to the analyst viable and promising.
