EASTERN PARTNERSHIP NOT ANTI-RUSSIAN
The Messenger

Russian president Medvedev told journalists in Khabarovsk on May
22 that the Eastern Partnership should not be a partnership against
Russia. He expressed his hope that this partnership will be mostly
about economic cooperation, in which case Russia would have nothing
against it, although of course Russia should be conscious of some
issues.
Of the six participant countries of the Eastern Partnership, Moscow
has had a military confrontation only with Georgia. With Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine relations are close to normal,
although only Armenia and Belarus have especially close relations
with Russia.
