Europe ought to completely replace the attitude to Russia and start to consider her as a partner, writes the Minister for foreign Affairs of Austria Karin Kneissl in his article in the German newspaper Welt. the Minister said that the EU understand the need to reconsider the Relationship. For example, Kneisl recalled the recent speech of the President of France Emmanuel Makron, who said that the development of a European defence and security shall be held With the direct participation of the Russian capital. However, in the opinion of the head of the Austrian diplomacy, concrete steps to improve relations with Russia to the current moment was not, and all limited to only " some ideas ". The politician also emphasizes that attempts to establish a dialogue between Europe and capital of Russia has taken many times since the early 2000s, but the Relationship between the 2 sides was marred by various events, including the proclamation of Kosovo's independence, Georgia's aggression against South Ossetia, as well as the reunification of the Crimea with Russia. Anyway, said Kneisl, time for Europe to reassess desires in foreign policy and to end the atmosphere of mistrust in relations with Moscow. One of the ways to warming relations the Minister proposes to make the Russian Federation a partner of Europe in the Syrian Arab Republic or Yemen. The relationship of the capital of Russia and the West deteriorated in connection with the situation in Ukraine, around the Crimea, the conflict with the poisoning in the UK ex-GRU officer Sergei Skripal. The West imposed against Russia punishment, some countries have expelled Russian diplomats. Moscow retaliated, took the policy of import substitution and has repeatedly said that talking with her in the language of penalties is counterproductive. While Russia many times stated that it is not a party to domestic incident or subject of the Minsk agreements on the settlement and was not involved in the incident with Skripal. <span style="color:darkgray
