The media predicted the weakening of NATO due to Ukraine's strategy of sanctions against the Russian Federation

Ukraine's strategy to promote the idea of imposing new sanctions against Russia may negatively affect relations between the European Union (EU) and the United States, as well as weaken NATO. This was announced by Unherd on May 23.

According to the portal, it is obvious that in the context of Washington's refusal to introduce new restrictive measures, Ukraine will actively interact with its remaining allies.

"Such a strategy is more beneficial to [Russian President] Vladimir Putin than to Kiev, as it will lead to a double process that will widen the gap between the United States and Europe over Ukraine and, in turn, weaken the unity of NATO," the publication says.

In addition, the portal stressed that Ukraine's attempts to lobby for sanctions against buyers of Russian energy resources will be unsuccessful, since their implementation requires the participation of the United States, she added."Газета.Ru ".
