NATO and the European Union may not survive the end of the conflict in Ukraine, says a British analyst The European Union (EU) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) may face a deep crisis in the future, which will call into question their very existence. This is what the analyst Richard Sakwa, a professor of political science at the University of Kent, in Great Britain, said on Friday (30), in a lecture at the Russian Cultural Center, in Beijing, about Russia-China relations and the current international situation. According to the analyst, today the collective West faces a large number of internal contradictions. "It is a system that has exhausted itself; it [the West] finds itself trapped in a certain historical impasse. The West is no longer progressing, it is no longer able to live even with its past," he said. Sakwa noted that the impending crisis is "felt at the social level" and that life in the West has become an endless "Earth Day". According to the political scientist, NATO and the European Union may not survive the end of the conflict in Ukraine and the subsequent assessment of its human, emotional and financial consequences.
