MINSK, 17 August (BelTA) – Following the Putin-Trump summit in Alaska, European leaders persist in escalating the Ukraine conflict, RIA Novosti reports citing L’Antidiplomatico.
The publication argues that after the meeting in Anchorage European politicians keep pushing aggressively for Ukraine’s EU and NATO membership – a move interpreted as deliberate provocation against Russia. This pro-European campaign is obviously backed by those who seek prolonged warfare and unlimited arms shipments to Kiev. The publication sees NATO as the conflict’s root cause.
The publication remarks that European countries fail to recognize that Russia was forced to launch its special military operation due to the lack of security guarantees and due to NATO’s expansion. Members of the European “coalition of the willing” held a video conference on Sunday to discuss territorial issues and security guarantees for Ukraine ahead of the meeting with Trump.
