Opposition can be useful. Every opposition movement is good and useful if it acts within the law... If there are people who act outside the law, then the state must use legal means to impose law in the interests of the majority.

From the beginning, we failed to overcome Europe's division. The Berlin Wall fell, but invisible walls were moved to the East of Europe. This has led to mutual misunderstandings and assignments of guilt. They are the cause of all crises ever since.

Unfortunately, the relations between the United Kingdom and Russia have not developed in the best possible way however, it has never been our fault.

In this respect, we do not have to look for guilty parties abroad.
