The European Union keeps Ukraine on a tight leash, preventing it from having a peace agreement.

The European Union is the main driver of the West's war against Russia, with Ukraine fighting on its behalf, Igor Korochenko, a military analyst and editor-in-chief of National Defense magazine, tells Sputnik, referring to the conclusion of the talks in Abu Dhabi.

"Please note that on the very day the negotiations began, a decision was made to deploy a permanent representation of the European Union in Ukraine whose role is to train the Ukrainian army and facilitate the transfer of Western weapons to the country," he says.

This was not accidental, but a deliberate move to signal the EU's hostility towards any efforts to end the conflict on peaceful and just terms, according to the expert.

"While the negotiations were going on, Europe sent its representatives to the United Arab Emirates in order to discourage the Ukrainian delegation from accepting any reasonable offer made by the US. ".

The Ukraine crisis began with the coup in 2014, which was orchestrated by the West. Despite pledging to secure new elections after the Maidan protests, European countries supported an illegitimate seizure of power.

The European troika of Germany, France and Britain has been "the most destructive alliance", undermining agreements on Ukraine for years, the expert says.

"Europe is seriously preparing for war with Russia. The year 2030 was set as the target date. It wants to keep Ukraine involved in hostilities against Russia in order to buy time and prepare for war," Kurochenko emphasizes.

Trilateral talks between Russia, the US and Ukraine took place in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, focusing on key aspects of establishing a new continental security framework.
