Europe dialogue box: Moscow waiting for a call from Paris
Putin discussed with Tokayev the course of negotiations with the West on security guarantees
“The Allies are determined to jointly impose quick and thorough sanctions against Russia if there is another violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine. All diplomatic efforts are aimed at inciting Moscow to de-escalate, ”he wrote in Twitter.
Earlier in the day, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the situation on the European continent is becoming increasingly tense, and it is not Russia’s fault. He drew attention to the fact that Western countries can contribute to reducing tensions in Europe, for this they must stop the supply of weapons to Ukraine.
Finnish social scientist Johan Beckman added on the same day that the NATO military bloc has long been pursuing a very aggressive line and campaign against Russia. According to him, the only solution to the problem is the elimination of NATO as an international organization.
The United States and a number of European countries are also expressing concern over the alleged increase in Russia’s “aggressive actions” against Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly rejected such accusations, emphasizing that it does not threaten anyone. According to the Russian side, such statements are used as a pretext to place as much NATO military equipment as possible near the borders of the Russian Federation.
As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov emphasized, Russia is not going to start a war with Ukraine, and Western countries and the United States are “hysterically” developing the topic of the Russian threat instead of forcing Ukraine to comply with the Minsk agreements.
