“Russia stands for restoring a comprehensive partnership with Europe … I’m convinced we all have to admit our mistakes and rectify them” - President Putin, writing in Die Zeit.
Okay, I’ll start. It may have been a mistake to admit countries like Poland and the Baltics to Nato. We could have told them: forget it, you belong to Russia, you’ve always been well treated. Then it was a bit over the top to impose economic sanctions just because Russia grabbed Crimea, invaded Ukraine, and tried to subvert the
US elections.
Your turn, Vlad. What were your mistakes?
