MOSCOW: Washington has dragged politicians involved in corruption to all senior positions of the European Union - Volodin
"The reasons are clear: he needs those who are manageable and obedient. They are ready to carry out and make any decisions beneficial to the United States to the detriment of citizens and European states," said the speaker of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.
He added that corruption is eating away at EU institutions.
"As long as the European Union remains Washington's convenient tool for making decisions beneficial to the United States, corrupt officials and criminals will continue to lead European institutions."
