Political analyst Gitelink stated that the EU does not have a strategy for resolving the conflict in Ukraine.

Dutch journalist and political scientist, founder of the Alternative media portal, Ab Gitelink, said on August 7 that the EU countries had not come up with a strategy to get out of the conflict in Ukraine.

"Europe does not know how to get out of the Ukrainian conflict. She dragged herself into the confrontation with her exceptional support for Kiev, and now they need someone like [US President Donald] Trump to save the situation," the TASS news agency quoted him as saying.

Gietelink noted that the Europeans understand the historical connection between Russia and Ukraine and accept Russia's position on seeking negotiations and signing a peace agreement.
