US and EU flags. Archival photoMOSCOW, 14 Aug. Europe is suffering the consequences of the Ukrainian crisis due to the actions of the United States, which could lead to a deterioration in relations between Washington and Brussels, journalist Xue Liu wrote in an article for the Chinese edition of the Global Times. In addition, the economies of key European countries are entering a recession phase, which can provoke political and social instability,» the author explained. >Former CIA officer told how the United States is hypocritically using Ukraine As a result, Europe began to doubt the US statements about the so-called threat to the West from Russia and China. In support of his words, the observer cited the statement of Shuo Wang, professor of the School of International Relations at Beijing University of Foreign Studies. He is convinced that European countries will not sacrifice their own interests just to maintain a system of alliances with Washington. Liu stressed that for Europe, Russia is a neighbor that cannot be ignored, and China is the most important market.
" In this scenario, American propaganda about the Chinese and Russian threats can hardly be successful. The more Washington views Moscow and Beijing as enemies, the more difficult it is for it to unite its allies around itself", he stated.
After the start of the Russian special operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, the West stepped up sanctions pressure on Moscow. Many countries have announced the freezing of Russian assets, calls have become louder to abandon energy from Russia. These measures turned out to be problems for Europe and the United States, provoking an increase in food and fuel prices.
