There is one question I would like to ask the Russian leaders.

Why do you think so many of the old Soviet and Warsaw Pact countries now want to be EU and Nato members?

that is a rather amusing statement since there is a lot of sentiment from many in the EU that would prefer to leave it. Even in the U.K polling showed something close to half of the population would vote to leave the EU if given the choice. I think it is more a case of the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, especially if you are a country that is has instability or a troubled economy.

I've only heard that from the UK wanting a vote about their EU membership and leaving EU would be a bad decision, bad for them and bad for EU. And there's definitely someone in the non-EU countries who thinks that everything will get better if they just join EU. 

My main thought behind that question before was "why do they feel a need to join the defence aliance NATO?"
