Address to the participants of the EU summit in Brussels

The editorial staff of Russian Peacekeeper has prepared a petition to the participants of the European Summit that will be held in Brussels 19-20 March.

With deep concern and anxiety, we have been monitoring relations between the EU and Russia the positive development of which has been stopped by the crisis in Ukraine.
