Abstract

After years of crisis, 2019 has witnessed possible signs for a thaw in the relations between the European Union (EU) and Russia. The strongest proponent of a rapprochement between the two actors is the French President Emmanuel Macron. He believes that European sovereignty and security can only be secured together with Russia. His proposal, however, demonstrates a lack of understanding for the causes of the crisis in the relationship as well as for Russian foreign policy interests and motives. Yet, his call for a new EU Russia strategy is important and timely. This new strategy must take Russian interests into account as well as build on European interests and realistic goals.
