Russia

Proceeding contribution from Lord Maclennan of Rogart (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 16 October 2014. It occurred during Debate on Russia.

My Lords, I wonder if the noble Baroness will recognise the difference between the European Union’s response to the Ukrainian initiatives and the initiative taken by President Putin in November 2010—he was the Prime Minister at the time—when he wrote an article in the Süddeutsche Zeitung calling for a free trade area running from Lisbon to Vladivostok. Why did we not respond to that in a positive way, which might have reduced the significance of the Ukrainian view?
