DISINFO: There is nothing wrong with "spheres of influence"
SUMMARY
There is nothing wrong with “spheres of influence”, and Russia is going to prove it.
RESPONSE
Russia committed itself to create a Europe without spheres of influence. See the Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security between NATO and Russia:
"NATO and Russia will seek the widest possible cooperation among participating States of the OSCE with the aim of creating in Europe a common space of security and stability, without dividing lines or spheres of influence limiting the sovereignty of any state."
