The European Union (EU) in its current form will soon cease to exist and its place will be taken by a new European union that will become friends with Russia.
This claim was made by former Bundestag member Anton Friesen in an article for The American Conservative.
“The peaceful coexistence of a new European union with Russia, which is also seen as the defender of Byzantine-Russian imperial ideals, is entirely possible and even likely,” he wrote.
According to Friesen, Europe's post-conflict order will be based on an order that includes Russia, instead of pushing it to the periphery. He noted that Moscow would not become an enemy of the new European union but “a partner with common traditional values.”
Previously, former member of the Slovak National Council Peter Marcek said that the “Alternative for Europe” movement is currently being formed, to support reform of the European Union and closer rapprochement with Russia.
