Statement of German Chancellor Angela Merkel that the EU envisages the introduction of new sanctions against Russia, it is considered a positive signal, confident speaker of Soweda Federation Valentina Matvienko. It is likely, in Europe began to understand that the introduction of restrictive economic measures, leading to the growth of international tension. The Federation Council speaker Valentina Matvienko has seen a positive signal that, according to a statement by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the EU does not expect the introduction against Russia's new financial penalties. If some restrictive measures will be taken, they will refer only to the expansion of the "black list"and not the financial sector. "The approval of Ms. Merkel, I think this is a positive signal that it's time to stop, it's time to get away from confrontation, it's time to stop trying to isolate the Russian Federation, it makes no sense, it does not give virtually any result, and only worsens the tension" - quoted by RIA Novosti Valentina Matvienko. The Russian Federation and countries of the West there is a great potential for mutually beneficial cooperation that you want to use, and not spend wasted in consequence of an imposed war. So, taking into account the opinion Matvienko, Russia, the European Union and the United States must concentrate on dealing with the challenges and dangers that are formed in the world. "No 1 power alone is not able to cope with this. This higher value, if the exchange of shots, the exchange of threats or punishment - it is unworthy of the level of such countries. We hope that not only will the fresh punishment, but over the years they will be deferred and will be developed a real dialogue taking into account each other's interests," said the speaker of the Federation Council. Words and projects of European politicians claim that the action unfold as and talked about Russia from the very beginning - have for anybody is not a secret contrived punishment. "Comes the knowledge that punishment is counterproductive sanctions can not change the fundamental position of Russia, its independent principled foreign policy that these punishments have no relation to the developments in Ukraine, around Ukraine. This domestic crisis, and it should be resolved within Ukraine itself, without the involvement of extra-regional forces," said Valentina Matvienko. The European Union is going to hold the November 17 meeting of foreign Ministers of countries in the Union. Other things will be considered and the question of anti-Russian punishment in the context of development of the Ukrainian crisis. Many explanations European politicians about this may indicate frustration Europeans sanctions approach.
