Alexei Martynov: "The Eastern Partnership is an initially anti-Russian project"

On May 21sr the summit of the Eastern Partnership opened in Riga. One of the central questions of the meeting was the situation in Ukraine. Kiev expects that an agreement on providing Ukraine with 1.8 billion euros will be signed, as well as support from the EU in the problem of restructuring debt liabilities. Another question which is interesting not only for Ukraine, but also for Tbilisi, is simplification of the visa regime. Moscow treats the Eastern Partnership Program negatively. Alexei Martynov, the head of the International Institute for Newest States, comments on the summit.
