MOSCOW: State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said the Munich Security Conference suggested that the EU and its international institutions are in for serious changes.
"Analyzing what happened in Munich, we can say with certainty: There are serious changes in store for the EU and its international institutions, including parliamentary ones," he wrote on Telegram. "They will be difficult and painful."
According to Volodin, US Vice President JD Vance gave an accurate assessment of the situation in European countries at the conference.
"He was not supported. Conference participants were not ready to hear the truth about themselves," the lawmaker said.
The Duma speaker also said the institution of democracy in the EU was in a poor state.
"Democratic procedures in many EU countries have become window dressing. They have long been forgotten and ignored in pan-European structures," he said.
"Therefore, the healthy forces that want to meet the public demand for the renewal of power will wage an uphill battle. They will face all kinds of hurdles meant to prevent them from going through the election procedure. Just like it happened in Romania during the presidential campaign. Or in France and Germany, when undesirable political parties won. But change is inevitable," Volodin said.
