EU and Russia need a dialogue, not a provocation, the mayor of Nice saysRussia and the West have been living in the sanctions regime for almost six months. Cooperation has given way to confrontation. With time, more and more Western politicians and businessmen urge to cease sanctions against Russia. The mayor of Nice Christian Estrosi is one of them. He shared his thoughts on the subject with VK."Many representatives of the French media have asked me: Why are you going to Russia right now, given the current context of discussions on Ukraine at the UN Security Council? I told them, what future could Europe have? For over 25 years we have been doing many important things together... We need to demonstrate friendly relations and engage a dialogue, talk to each other more than ever," Estrosi said."It should be noted that confrontation leads nowhere and benefits no one. Friendship should be expressed not only in words, but actions. So I decided to act, that's why I came," he said.
