Kommentar: Deutschland braucht einen Mark-Carney-Moment für die Ukraine
Washington sucht wieder den direkten Draht nach Moskau. Europa droht dabei zum Zuschauer zu werden. Deutschland sollte Trumps Russland-Kurs öffentlich widersprechen.
Deutschland needs a Mark-Carney moment for Ukraine, according to a commentary. The consensus between the US and Europe has been largely to isolate and pressure Russia, despite differing views. This consensus could soon be put to rest following the controversy surrounding the G20 finance ministers' meeting this week. The meeting in the US commenced with an affront, as Russia's Finance Minister Anton Siluanov was seated at the table, an initiative by the host country.
Just days prior, the US government had, on its own accord, invited Siluanov to the meeting, sparking outrage. The practice of announcing invitees "frozen facts" has become a norm, as the US failed to inform its transatlantic partners adequately about its aggressive actions in Venezuela, the commencement of the Iran war, and the diminishing military presence of US NATO troops in Europe.
The US's unilateral approach to Russia policy is a significant issue for Europe, particularly for Germany. Recently, Chancellor Friedrich Merz seems poised to blame Russia over the airport Leipzig/Halle bombshell, emphasizing the need for the US and Europe to stand united.
