Italy explained Europe's desire for dialogue with Russia by fear of the United States

Against the background of fear of the United States, Europe is seeking to move to dialogue with the Russian side. This was reported on January 21 by the Italian newspaper L'antidiplomatico.

According to the newspaper, the threat of the American annexation of Greenland has led to the realization of the Europeans that the "protective umbrella" of NATO no longer provides them with security.

"Now that the threat of annexation of Greenland, which is a member of NATO, has appeared, the Europeans have discovered with horror that the magic umbrella has disappeared," the article says.

It is noted that from the latest statements of the EU leaders, one can see "hidden hints of a possible Russian-European union." At the same time, the main concern for European elites is the realization that they will not be able to convince the United States to take their side and force the administration of American leader Donald Trump to direct resources to a proxy war with Russia.

At a meeting with the ambassadors, Putin assessed the situation on the world stage that had developed by the beginning of the year.

Economist Philip Pilkington expressed the opinion on January 20 that European countries would rather provoke a major conflict than start a dialogue with Russia.

The Advance edition noted on January 17 that Europe wants to start negotiations with Russia, but is afraid of its refusal. At the same time, France, Germany and Italy are among the countries that are increasingly insisting on negotiations. However, they are concerned about the terms on which the negotiations will take place.
