Military expert Ralph Thiel stated that Europe is prolonging the war in Ukraine through its attempts to punish Russia. He pointed out that the main problem remains unchanged and that Europe is weak in this regard. "It is impossible to reach an agreement with both sides if only one side is punished. This European approach is not working; It prolongs the war," Thiel said. The expert asked whether Europe could change its position, and asked whether the offers were attractive enough for Russia to make concessions while remaining acceptable to Ukraine.
