Sweden lashes out at Russian economic warfare in east Europe | Reuters:
"Sweden accused Russia on Friday of waging "economic warfare" against former Soviet republics that have been considering closer trade relations with the European Union and said the EU needed a strategy to resist Moscow.
The EU is planning to take steps towards signing trade deals with Armenia, Georgia and Moldova at a summit of regional and EU leaders in November in Lithuania, and could seal a similar agreement with Ukraine.
Closer economic ties with Europe would mark a clear break for the east European countries with their Soviet past, and such plans have fuelled Russia's concerns over a decline of its historical influence in the region."
