Timofey V. Bordachev, a Russian economist, says that Russia will not respect the rights of weaker states:
Now we are taken aback as we observe the European countries close their borders even to each other, displaying examples of national egoism on a scale that previously could not be imagined. The question arises: is the coronavirus pandemic the very "last game" after which a blow will be dealt to European integration that it can no longer withstand?
The strong states, which now include China and Russia, address problems that are so great in scale that their solution does not leave many opportunities for attendance to the rights and feelings of the weak states. Europe ... is living out its last days, months, and even years
