Jeg er overbevist om, at vores borgere ikke ville forstå, at vi i dag, hvor velment det end er, godkender en aftale, mens Den Russiske Føderation bombarderer Tjetjenien og endda hindrer værgeløse flygtninge i at flygte.
I am convinced that the citizens of Europe would not be able to grasp why, however well-meant our intentions, we are today approving an agreement when the Russian Federation is bombing Chechnya and even preventing helpless refugees from fleeing.
