People in Kyiv are indignant: France and Germany want a compromise at the expense of Ukraine
Germany and France do not support Ukraine regarding the situation in Donbass because they are interested in maintaining relations with Russia.
About this on the air of Radio Donbass. Realities,” said Alexander Khara, an expert at the Kyiv Center for Defense Strategies, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It would be difficult to expect anything more shameful than the joint statement by France and Germany. When they called on us, a country that has been under Russian aggression for seven years, on equal terms with Russia not to escalate the situation. It is clear that Mrs. Merkel also knows very well whose war this is, who started it and who can stop it one day, this is Mr. Putin.
But, on the other hand, there are internal political situations, she has to negotiate with the coalition, she has to negotiate with her businessmen, since they are putting pressure on the same Nord Stream, they want to complete Nord Stream 2.
France is also a special situation. Mr. Macron talked about strategic autonomy, he doesn’t quite like the influence of the United States on the European continent, he would, of course, want to quickly return to business as usual with the Russian Federation, given the pandemic, the economy and other problems.
But, on the other hand, they are somehow trying to play this game. And, accordingly, all these initiatives about clusters or whatever we call them are all an attempt to find a compromise, but by and large, a compromise is only in quotes. This is a compromise at the expense of Ukraine’s interests,” the expert said.
