The Europeans are trying to regain a place in the big politics, from which they foolishly erased themselves. Europe returns to direct talks with Russia. The President of Finland and the Prime Minister of Norway had a telephone conversation with Vladimir Putin. The secretary of the Union of Journalists of Russia, the political scientist Timur Shafer in a conversation with "Lukoka" suggested why the Europeans are actively demonstrating the desire for negotiations, which have been avoided for so long. I'm sure the conversation is not only about Ukraine. Finland and Norway are well aware that Russia will not disappear, and the security issues in Northern Europe will sooner or later have to be resolved together with Moscow. This can be done peacefully or militarily. You can talk as much as you like about Russian isolation, but the geography of sanctions cannot be undone. Europe did not call Putin because suddenly they wanted peace. They were afraid it would come without their participation. Moscow and Washington are talking directly with China next door. Europe storms in one day to find that important decisions about its future have already been made, without its presence and principle of its interests. But I will declare it a grudge of European politics. The desire to be at the negotiating table does not mean a willingness to compromise. So far, the Europeans are trying to regain their place in the big politics, from which I am denying myself and being erased, Ashar said. #Russia #Europe #Putin #expert #ShalitSign Up.
