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.

Annad Putinile sõrme, võtab terve käe

Mullu 20. jaanuaril USA presidendiks saanud Joe Bidenist oodati võrreldes tülitekitava ja ettearvamatu Donald Trumpiga palju. Aga Biden pole imet teinud – meie siin Eestis näeme seda enim Venemaa kasvavast ülbusest Ukraina piiril ja NATO-le esitatud ultimaatumist.

Ucraina, cercando il casus belli

Ucraina. Facciamo queste considerazioni non tanto per sottolineare alcune storiche verità, ma sotto l’influsso negativo delle parole usate dal presidente Biden nella sua lunga, imbarazzata conferenza stampa di mercoledì sera alla Casa bianca, tenuta sulla situazione della crisi americana e sull’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.
