FY 2007-2012 Department of State and USAID Strategic Plan
"Relations with Russia: We pursue our third priority under increasingly difficult circumstances. We aim to work with
Russia on issues of common interest such as cooperation on counter-terrorism and non-proliferation, but increasing
centralization of power, pressure on NGOs and civil society, a growing government role in the economy, and restrictions
on media freedom have all emerged as clear and worrisome trends. Russian weapon sales to such states as Iran, Syria,
and Venezuela are also cause for great concern throughout the international community. Russia’s policy toward its
neighbors is another major challenge, especially Moscow’s support for separatist regions in Georgia and Moldova, its
political and economic pressure against Georgia, and its monopolistic use of energy to pressure neighboring states and
gain control of infrastructure and strategic assets. Diversifying energy sources, increasing transparency, and improving
the efficiency of energy usage will bolster regional energy security. Notwithstanding these challenges, we also have a
strong interest in reinforcing positive trends wherever we can, including helping Russia work toward inclusion in rulesbased
organizations and integration into the global economy, and the emergence of a middle class supportive of democratic institutions and the rule of law. The United States wants to see Russia become an open, democratic, and stable geopolitical partner; we can try to encourage such development through a wide range of economic, social, scientific, and political ties. We will engage with Russia where we can do so productively, while continuing to stand firm-with the support of our European and other
allies-for the values of democracy, human rights, and freedom and push back on negative Russian behavior".
