Juncker yet again demonstrated his stupidity by congratulating Putin given the situation at the time and along with Trump undermined the international community's position. Add to that it gave a hint of legitimacy to a person that absolutely didn't deserve it just on the election itself given how he removed credible opponents. To do it when Russia and Putin have committed attempted murder is not exactly a glowing endorsement of the EU or the shambles that resulted from it.
Instead of praising the EU for this condemnation perhaps you should give Theresa May some credit for working to restore some credibility to the EU after appaling handling by the president of the european commission.

I've totally condemned Juncker and Trump before. They should both quit for their treacherous comments. Two bad peas in a pod! Juncker's letter looked like a job application and Trump seemed to acknowledge the hold that Putin has over him. Sickening stuff from those who are our allies.
The EU is a powerful combination of countries and it's better to have the UK in it steering it in the right direction. With the UN veto and NATO a military organisation, the EC fills a need. Hopefully something can be replicated post December 2020 as Russia knows we're stronger together.
