euronews - interview - Dmitry Medvedev
Russia's President has given his first reaction to the EU summit on the conflict in Georgia, in an interview with euronews. Speaking at his summer residence in Sochi on the Black Sea, Dmitry Medvedev said that the bloc's decision not to impose sanctions on Russia was "positive." But he added that the EU "did not fully understand" Russia's motives in Georgia.
While the EU threatened to postpone talks with Russia on a new partnership pact, it did not adopt the sanctions some countries were demanding.
