Mark Leonard, the council's executive director and one of the report's authors, grouped the EU into five clusters, ranging from the new "cold warriors" of Poland and the Baltic states who are suspicious of Moscow's intentions, to the "Trojan horses" of Cyprus and Greece, Orthodox Christian countries sympathetic to Moscow's aims. Between these extremes sit Germany, France and Italy, keen to strike a "strategic partnership" with Moscow and reluctant to alienate Russia; "friendly pragmatists" such as Austria and Hungary; and "frosty pragmatists" such as the Netherlands emphasising human rights issues and democratic shortcomings. Britain is included among the latter.
