Blinken Rebuffs Calls For Preemptive Sanctions On Russia Over Ukraine

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has rejected calls for preemptive sanctions against Russia, saying that doing so would undermine the West’s ability to deter Moscow from any further potential aggression against Ukraine.

Russia’s military buildup in occupied Crimea and near Ukraine’s borders has raised alarm bells in Western capitals that an invasion of Ukraine may be imminent. If Russia were to attack Ukraine, the United States and its European allies have vowed crushing economic sanctions. Russia denies it is planning to attack Ukraine.

Ucraina, cercando il casus belli

Ucraina.

Jędrzej Bielecki: Ukraina. W chwili próby Unia okazała się impotentem

Wobec groźby rosyjskiej inwazji Bruksela jest tak bezsilna, że nawet nie próbuje wykuć wspólnego stanowiska. Nie zmienią tego najbardziej bujne deklaracje Macrona.

Przywódcy „27″ spotykają się na szczytach cztery razy do roku. Jednak w 2021 r. zorganizowano sześć dodatkowych spotkań, a w 2021 – cztery dodatkowe. Chodziło o covid, relacje z Chinami czy imigrację. Stojąca na czele Wspólnoty od 1 stycznia Francja takiego szczytu w sprawie Ukrainy nie zwołała. Czy groźba największego od drugiej wojny światowej konfliktu zbrojnego w Europie na to nie zasługuje? Szczytu, rzecz jasna, nie ma z innego powodu: kraje Wspólnoty nie są tu w stanie uzgodnić wspólnego stanowiska. Takie spotkanie przekształciłoby się w żenującą kłótnię, jak zareagować na ewentualną rosyjską inwazję na Ukrainę.
