Washington, Brussels and Kiev disagree on what goals they pursue in the Ukrainian conflict and how it should end. This is reported by the American newspaper The New York Times.
“After three months of outstanding unity (…), there is an increasingly noticeable split in opinions about what steps to take next,” the authors of the article say.
The publication’s material emphasizes that recently the unity of the North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union has become “under pressure.” An example is the unwillingness and unwillingness of a number of EU countries, in particular Hungary, to support the embargo on Russian oil supplies.
It is also noted that the Europeans are not going to refuse to import gas from the Russian Federation yet. At the same time, Germany, Italy and France express concern about the possible prolongation of the conflict and fear damage to their own economies.
The deep split in opinion became even more obvious after the speech of former United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at the World Economic Forum in Davos, American journalists believe. He said that according to the results of the negotiations, Kiev, apparently, will have to make territorial concessions.
