Venäjän presidentti, ja jos olet unohtanut hän on Dimitri Medjedev, on linjannut Venäjän ulkopolitiikan toimintaperiaatteet. (Putin on taistelemassa amurin tiikereitten kanssa tyyliin:”Ein Schuss ein Schrei, Karl May war frei.”)

BBC uutisoi Venäjän tulevan ulkopolitiikan toimintaperiaatteet näin:

1. International law

Russia recognises the primacy of the basic principles of international law, which define relations between civilised nations. It is in the framework of these principles, of this concept of international law, that we will develop our relations with other states.”

2. Multi-polar world

“The world should be multi-polar. Unipolarity is unacceptable, domination is impermissible. We cannot accept a world order in which all decisions are taken by one country, even such a serious and authoritative country as the United States of America. This kind of world is unstable and fraught with conflict.”

3. No isolation

“Russia does not want confrontation with any country; Russia has no intention of isolating itself. We will develop, as far as possible, friendly relations both with Europe and with the United State of America, as well as with other countries of the world.”

4. Protect citizens

“Our unquestionable priority is to protect the life and dignity of our citizens, wherever they are. We will also proceed from this in pursuing our foreign policy. We will also protect the interest of our business community abroad. And it should be clear to everyone that if someone makes aggressive forays, he will get a response.”

5. Spheres of influence

“Russia, just like other countries in the world, has regions where it has its privileged interests. In these regions, there are countries with which we have traditionally had friendly cordial relations, historically special relations. We will work very attentively in these regions and develop these friendly relations with these states, with our close neighbours.”

Asked if these “priority regions” were those that bordered on Russia he replied: ” [on Russia], but Certainly the regions bordering but not only them.”

And he stated: “As regards the future, it depends not just on us. It also depends on our friends, our partners in the international community. They have a choice.”

Tämä oli BBC:n antama yhteenveto. Omat, meidän kannalta tärkeimmät toteamukset olen edellä lihavoinnut ja italisoinnut. Johtopäätökset (implications) voi lukea tästä.

Kun ajattelen meitä täällä Suomessa olen huolissani kohdista 4. ja varsinkin 5. kohdasta.

Ja sieltä tuo lihavoimani, They have a choice. Ja jos vielä pitäisi tiivistää, en pidä sanasta sana they.

But we have a choice. Don´t we?

“Ei kun valitsemaan.“
