Welcome address

Dear friends,

Welcome to the website of the Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community.

This portal is designed to provide regular first-hand update to the general public, primarily the population of EU Member States, on current aspects of Russian foreign policy on the EU track and Russia's position on major international and regional issues.

Today, such work has become considerably more relevant. The EU has taken a course of restricting access to diverse media sources. The information published in Europe is actually censored.

In response to the obvious demand for a viewpoint alternative to that of the EU mainstream, our website allows its readers to make their own assessments and conclusions. The communication policy of the Permanent Mission is primarily aimed at giving Europeans a fact-based explanation of Russian approaches and the logic of our actions in a calm and straightforward way, at offering ordinary citizens a polychrome, rather than black-and-white, picture of the world and the processes taking place in it.

I am sure that this kind of awareness-raising will resonate with those who visit the website of the Russian Permanent Mission.

Your question

Kirill Logvinov,

Chargé d’Affairs a.i. of the
