. the Munich conference ended on the safety. It has Not led to a rapprochement between the West And Russia on global stability. besides, what in the past was said in a hypothetical way, began to take real shape. Europe after the decision of the United States to reach key agreements on strategic stability is liable to return to the days of the cold war. The Europeans do, apparently, quite afraid, But to Not do anything have the ability. It remains only to appeal to the American leadership And the feeling of Euro-Atlantic solidarity. Although the dialogue between Russia And the West as long as anywhere has Not got to that emphasized many times in their own views And Russian, American And European participants, it is clear that the parties can't hear one another or, at least, pretend. The head of Finland Sauli Niinistö even wondered, is it possible to call it the end of diplomacy. However, the Russian side looks at things more optimistic. "If About the conference in General - you Know, perhaps, after all, began to listen More. So tolerance And a little effort. We are citizens of patient, as well as among them in the strategic plan, " - said the Minister of foreign Affairs S. Lavrov In.. the overall tone of the speeches of commissioners of the countries of the West, when speech came About Russia, and She went About it quite often boiled down to the idea of a popular Internet meme, " The Russians did it." The Russian Federation was accused of everything from violations of international law, aggression And support for "dictatorships" to cyber attacks on an unprecedented scale And the " hunting of the Baltic States ". About the facts And no one remembers, so accusations without evidence have become commonplace. Directly two points of view - Western And Russian - experienced in Munich a few times on different sessions. But in face-to-face debate particularly enthusiastic hand did Not show: apparently tired of repeating the same thing from year to year. For example, Vice-President of the United States Michael Pence, who participated in the session together With Lavrov referred to the Russian Federation's casual And More hints. For Example, he tried to convince the NATO countries Not to acquire weapons, "East "" potential opponents." About whom exactly is talking, Okay." We can't defend the West If our allies buying arms in the East. And We are given to understand that We will Not stand idly by when the allies will acquire weapons of our opponents, " said Pence. Don't like Washington And energy projects With the participation of Russia." The United States welcomes all of our European partners, which took a strong stance against the " Nord stream-2 ". And We recommend others to do the same, " - said the us Vice President. The head of the Ministry of foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation have preferred to do without blame or address. He focused on the prospects of integration in the European Union And Eurasia. Lavrov said it was time to abandon the "iron curtain" And "sanitary cordons" that still exist." European house needs repairs ", - noticed the head of the Ministry. in response to questions from the audience, He said, for Example, that the Russian Federation is ready to dialogue With the United States, as well as among them on issues of strategic stability, renewal of the Contract on reduction of strategic offensive arms, But from the capital of the US that desire does Not see." as long as we did Not offer any meaningful advice, But We're trying, " drew attention Lavrov. The observation arms, for obvious reasons, all were in Munich, one of the most mentioned. The possible imminent end of the Agreement On the destruction of intermediate-range And shorter-range is very worried about Europe, which fears to be between 2 lights. But the overwhelming number of participants from EU countries chose to speak at the Symposium is Not About the fact that North America unilaterally withdraw, and About the fact that if Russia violates it And this must be urgently corrected. This confidence of its allies strongly supported the U.S. itself. "We did Not violate the Treaty, We became a victim of violations of the INF Treaty. Violations of the Treaty from Russia. You are right, We are discussing the next steps If Russia for the remaining months will Not lead themselves in congruence With the INF Treaty, " claimed, for Example, assistant Secretary of state United States Andrea Thompson. Her opponent at the session Deputy foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said in response that North America to choose what to do next, as far as the security of America And Europe will be put under the danger of unilateral actions of the US capital. Thus He has noticed that "Russia will be in its unilateral moratorium" on the deployment of missiles prohibited by the INF Treaty, although certain developments are already there. Did not dare to refute the American interpretation of the situation around the INF Treaty even informal European leader, German Chancellor Angela Merkel. At the same time, She traditionally has supported the partnerships With Russia And, for Example, cooperation in the gas sector. "The deliberate political exclusion of Russia is wrong, I think it's strategically wrong for us. Geostrategically Europe has No interest to cut off all relations With Russia ", - said Merkel. on the basis of her statements unpleasant, though expected "surprise" was the confirmation Of the planned introduction of personalized sentences in respect of several of the Inhabitants of Russia in connection With the incident in the Kerch Strait. "The decision has been made at the appropriate level ", - said Last news the Minister for foreign Affairs of Austria Karin Kneissl. Merkel also commented on Not only the overall direction of relations With Russia, But also the construction of the pipeline " Nord stream-2 ", a few times directly referring to sitting in the hall of the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko, who listened attentively to the speech of the Chancellor. She said that understand refers to the critical position of Kiev for this project, However, Berlin wants to make every effort to guarantee the continuity of gas transit from Russia via Ukraine after 2019. On the reverse side, continued Merkel, the Ukrainian gas transit is Not obliged to close the opportunity for gas supplies to the European Union through other Russian pipelines, for example, through the "Nord stream-1" or " Yamal ", it would be contrary to the idea of diversification of supply, which is necessary in Europe. Poroshenko himself, Not allowed this time on the main podium of the conference, which may be associated With a more than moderate interest to the speech by the Ukrainian President last year, was able to stand only on one of the parallel sessions. However, Not hoping that unfounded attacks against Russia can attract significant numbers of spectators, the organizers of the "diluted" Poroshenko, the Prime Ministers of Georgia And Croatia, Secretary General of the OSCE Thomas Greminger And German conservative politician And candidate for the post of head of the European Commission, Manfred Weber. Poroshenko said that Ukraine under his leadership continues to strive to NATO And the EU, the conflict in the Donbass, He considers "frozen," the story is About " the hot phase of the war ", which Kiev is unable to finish. "If Russia will stop to shoot, there will be peace. If the Ukraine cease fire, that Ukraine will Not " - said the Ukrainian leader. Kiev And some Western countries consider that the Russian Federation would intervene in the Affairs of Ukraine is a party to the conflict in the Donbass. Russia denies it And calls such accusations unacceptable. Moscow has many times stated that it is Not a party to domestic conflict And the subject of the agreements on the settlement in Ukraine, and also does Not support the militias And Not sending troops in Donbass. In addition, Russia is interested in Ukraine overcame political And economic crisis. Kiev is still accuses Moscow of " military aggression ". in General, Poroshenko said, " Ukraine currently is a history of success." In addition to conducting "the most profound reforms" in the country's history, He called his achievement of attracting European investment And increase trade With the EU, which in 3 years, according to his statement, increased by 6%. However, to isolate the Russian Federation, or rather the Russian delegation at the Munich conference, did Not work And no calls Merkel. "You know, the isolation We probably even would like to watch, because uninterrupted was the dialogue. More than 2 dozen meetings, And back to straighten our entire delegation, " he joked this Lavrov. in fact, because it is in truth So, you can see that, for Example, held on the sidelines of the conference Primako readings With the participation of the Russian Minister. The interest was so high that many did Not get places. Came even the former United States Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul, is Not characterized in the last period of time the friendly remarks to the capital of Russia. He rejoiced greatly, when after leaving the press he got loose stool. McFaul tried to stay close to the Russian delegation saw it, for example, all lovey-dovey With the former Ambassador of Russia in the capital of the United States, and now Senator Sergei Kislyak. <span style="color:darkgray
