Talk:Russia–European Union relations

Any support?
Hello, I know this is random, but I am very sure that there are politicians and citizens who support the fact that Russia should join. Should we include this? (TheGreenwalker (talk) 20:43, 2 February 2010 (UTC))

Putin's recent comments
Shouldn't Putin's recent comments on EU-Russian relations be mentioned (a union from "Lisbon to Vladivostok" or something like that he said)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.22.211.96 (talk) 00:55, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Kosovo
What about Kosovo? I mean not mentioning the problem around Kosovo, the bombing of Serbia(FR Yugoslavia at that time) without clearance from the UN Security Council in 1999, supporting the independance of the serbian province of Kosovo (with a ethnical albanian majority), recognition of independance by several EU (not all) and Nato states, not to mention, is simply not professional! If you think that this doesn't affect EU-Russia relations than let me give you a reminder: What did Putin said after bombing Georgia and the recognition of south ossetia, abkhazia afterwards? He said literally, that after the Recognition of Kosovo from the West, the West openend the box of Pandora... Justifying the recognition by russia with the previous rec. of Kosovo by western Countries, as the US, and its slaves (Germany, whose prime-minister is spied out, Uk, France etc.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.100.214.24 (talk) 19:12, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but you're clearly confused. This is an encyclopedia and not the Foreign Office of the EU or something like that. --Wilhelm3 (talk) 10:28, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * PS. Why and how is it even in your opinion connected to the topic EU-Russian relations? Could you please explain and give a source for it if you really want it to be included it in this article? --Wilhelm3 (talk) 10:43, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

History of Russian-EU relations
Honorable wikipeditors, What do you think of adding a section on the history of Russian-EU relations, divided into several stages of that history? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alphabett (talk • contribs) 17:08, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Would make sense. By the way, you sound like someone who is working at an embassy or something. The only thing missing would be if you said something like "avails himself of this opportunity of assuring the wikipeditors of his highest consideration" at the end 😅 --Wilhelm3 (talk) 10:24, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

New short paragraphs are being created
I think a lot has to be done in the article in order to meet the usual Wikipedia standards.

For one, a paragraph was added that describes how Russia helped Italy. It is certainly very commendable, but it should be clear that this does not deserve a paragraph in itself and I would also argue that it belongs in the article "Russian-Italian relations". At the very least it should be put into perspective by including it in a paragraph that is not just describing an one-off incident. Secondly, there is the paragraph, Anti-Russian propaganda and conspiracy theories, which is an incorrect title because it is actually just about one polish conspiracy theory about plane that crashed near Smolensk. Therefore I would suggest to make a paragraph that deals generally with propaganda and to move this as well as the other paragraf "Putin's propaganda" there.

Well, since I suspect that changes to this article are quite controversial, I am now asking on your opinion regarding those points here. Hopefully we can then make this article a bit more uniform, clearer and, above all, a meet the usual Wikipedia standards. --Wilhelm3 (talk) 09:59, 12 April 2020 (UTC)


 * PS. After comparing the article again with for example the one about US-EU relations I would suggest to take the structure there as it is mutch more streamlined in my opinion: 1. History 2. Comparison 3. Trade 4. Cooperation 5. Issues --Wilhelm3 (talk) 10:16, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Yes, serious reorganization is needed. Kaihsu (talk) 12:52, 11 March 2022 (UTC)
