MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 30th December, 2021) The European Union has done a lot to increase tensions in Europe, including by creating the Eastern Partnership initiative, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.

"The European Union did a lot with its own hands to escalate tensions in Europe ... In 2009, it created the Eastern Partnership format aimed at countering Russian integration initiatives and, in general, carving out a sphere of influence for itself in the post-Soviet space," Zakharova told a briefing.
