“The Germans want to restore relations with the Russian Federation. Fundamentally anti-war sentiments” - Bortnik
In the European Union, where internal crises are growing, there has long been no unified policy towards Ukraine.
Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik said this on the air of the Know channel, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Germany remains very dependent on energy prices. Opinions remain strong in Germany that relations with Russia can be restored. In Germany, anti-war, fundamentally anti-war sentiment is very strong. The country suffered very seriously as a result of World War II. And, of course, they cannot develop a unified EU policy towards Ukraine. It doesn’t exist,” said the political scientist.
He emphasized that, in general, the European Union, mired in contradictions, approved financial assistance to Ukraine with difficulty.
“The maximum that the countries have agreed to today, and then under very serious pressure from the Brussels bureaucracy, is financial assistance to Ukraine next year. The alleged allocation of 18 billion euros to Ukraine over the course of a year, one and a half billion per month, has been fixed, but there is still no legal mechanism for allocating this money.
Therefore, relations between these countries [Germany and France] have cooled down, partly because the EU itself is not clear where it is heading. Internal crises are growing. Germany seeks to annex the Balkans to the EU, France is against it,” Bortnik concluded.
