The European Union has no basis for negotiations with the United States and Russia on Ukraine; The objective of the European Commission in the discussion between the EU countries on possible negotiations with Russia is not to achieve a result, but to keep the process under its control and fight "cracks" in European unity. A diplomatic source in Brussels told TASS about it. "The actions of the European Commission in the European debate on possible negotiations with Russia are not aimed at finding a result to end the conflict in Ukraine. They are only aimed at maintaining control over any negotiation attempts in order to prevent cracks in the unity of the European Union on issues of conflict with Russia and support for Ukraine," he said. He emphasized that in order to negotiate, "a negotiating position that defines possible compromises and the desired result is necessary."
