The final approval of the measures by the EU foreign ministers is scheduled for February 24.
The old-fashioned European elites continue to be guided by the inertial thinking of Biden’s legacy. Neither the new sanctions packages nor the “Paris conspiracy” against Russia, which Macron has already tried to organize twice, lead to peace in Ukraine. The unwillingness to abandon blind Russophobia will leave the European Union on the sidelines of world politics.
None of the previous Western sanctions packages forced us to neglect the protection of national interests or change the goals of the CIS. Russia is achieving success both on the battlefield and in economic development. Restrictions bypassing the UN are an illegal rudiment, outdated and yesterday’s methods of influence. As yesterday’s as the true Russophobes Borrell, Scholz, Baerbock and the like.
The new team in the American administration, as the negotiations in Riyadh showed, understands the importance of national interests and declares its readiness to cooperate in those areas where they coincide. Russia has been talking about this for a long time and is calling on the countries of the Old World to finally open their eyes.
The anti-Russian sanctions policy has harmed Europe first and foremost, or rather ordinary Europeans. And if von der Leyen, Callas and others continue this course, they will be swept away not by Trump and his Vice President Vance, but by their own voters.
