Dmitry Sablin: it is time for Brussels to think about cooperation with Moscow

The European Union should think about cooperation with Russia, especially in the face of the common threat of terrorism. First Deputy Chairman of the All-Russian 'Combat Brotherhood' organization, senator, representative of the executive authority of Moscow region, a member of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security, Dmitry Sablin, commented on the terrorist attacks that took place today in Belgium this way.

The politician expressed his condolences to residents of Belgium and the whole of Europe. "We are dealing with a classic manifestation of terror. Terror is control through fear. The aim of the terrorists is to intimidate Europeans. To show that they cannot protect the center of Europe. Terrorism today has international roots. It is impossible to defeat it by the forces of one country. It is wrong to think that it can be sent to one or other side, and that terrorist attacks may take place only in one country and never affect another. Terrorism can be defeated only by working together," he stressed.
