PoliticsRussian diplomat notes EU’s cynical attempt to present itself as a ‘force for good’

Against that backdrop, she called Brussels’ effort to portray itself as a global “force for good” particularly cynical. She also accused European institutions of ignoring or condoning Russophobia, statelessness in the Baltics and restrictions on Russian-speaking residents’ right to education in their native language.
