“The European Union, in fact, confirmed that it continues the line of active geopolitical development of the CIS space, its use for the purpose of“ containment ”of Russia,” the diplomat said in a statement.
According to Zakharova, all possible means are used, from financial and economic leverage to military support.
At the same time, as the official representative of the department emphasized, in the case of Moldova and Ukraine, the requirements for rapprochement with the EU have been postponed "for the sake of the political situation."
“The future of a “united Europe”, its “ideals” of democracy, are being sacrificed to the task of the unrestrained expansion of the EU, the political and economic enslavement of neighbors,” she said.
On June 23, the EU summit agreed on the status of accession candidates for Ukraine and Moldova.
The European Union is also ready to grant Georgia the status of a candidate for joining the bloc, but for this a number of conditions must be met.
At the same time, on June 22, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, during a speech in parliament, announced Kyiv's request not to grant Tbilisi the status of a candidate for joining the European Union.
According to Garibashvili, his European friends told him about it.
