That is why a common fund to provide compensation for the economic costs of sanctions should be an integral part of the EU’s emerging foreign-policy stance toward Russia. Creating such a fund would provide a potent symbol of solidarity within the EU, while providing an ideal opportunity to reflect on the nature of the sanctions’ costs.
正因如此，应该成立一个共同基金作为欧盟对俄外交政策立场的一部分，补偿制裁造成的经济成本。建立这样一个基金可以成为欧盟内部团结的有力标志，同时提供深思制裁成本的性质的理想机会。
