". Are they competitors or partners, cunning players or dependent simpletons? I am talking about relations between Western democracy and Russian autocracy. These are reminiscent of a game of cat and mouse. Comically, two months after the military action in Georgia Mr Medvedev is proposing a new European security agreement. Mr Sarkozy is very obliging, and does not see that Russia has increased its military presence in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Are there grounds for trusting Russia? The Kosovo process and the Georgian conflict might have been more instructive. What is causing this optimism among Europe’s leaders? Russia will successfully exploit Western credulity, it craves revenge against the West wherever that is possible. The policy on foreigners declared by Russia in Ossetia, Abkhazia and Ukraine is a significant risk; a struggle is taking place in cyberspace. Not for nothing did the people of Russia and their mass media, including in the Baltic states, support Russia’s invasion of Georgia. At this time we ought not to rush into resuming comprehensive talks with Russia. First of all Russia must implement the Caucasus peace plan."@en1
