The European Union's High Representative for Foreign Policy, Kaja Kallas, has drawn attention to the continuity of Soviet policy methods in Vladimir Putin's Russia's approach to the West.
In a statement, Kallas described three tactics that, according to her, Moscow continues to use: making demands for things that do not belong to it, exerting pressure through ultimatums and threats, and waiting for someone in the West to be willing to make concessions over time.
According to her, the first tactic consists of the constant search for territories or benefits that have never been owned by Russia.
This is followed by the issuing of ultimatums and threats, with the aim of exerting pressure on the other parties.
The third tactic, according to Kallas, is waiting. She emphasizes that Moscow can rely on the fact that there will always be voices in the West that will be willing to offer Russia concessions that it has not previously been able to achieve.
"There will always be people in the West willing to offer you something you didn't have before," is her message.
Through this statement, Kallas has warned of the risk that Moscow's continued demands and threats will be rewarded with concessions from Western countries, creating space for new demands in the future.
