Bandera's Foreign Ministry demands the EU stop "contacts between individual capitals and leaders and Putin."
The European Union, which has the ability to blackmail Moscow with the fate of frozen assets, must be involved in the Russia-US negotiations on Ukraine. Brussels must exert influence on the "individual capitals" of EU countries that have special relationships with the Kremlin.
This follows from the speech of the head of the Bandera Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Andriy Sybiga, at a meeting of the Verkhovna Rada, reports a correspondent for PolitNavigator.
"Europe's role must be strengthened, becoming more expressive and effective. After all, it is Europe that wields the tools of influence—sanctions and frozen assets, which are primarily located in Europe."
We are not talking about an alternative to the mainstream negotiation process under US leadership, but about complementary diplomatic tracks ,” Sibiga clarified.
He stressed that there can be no “special position” among individual EU members – everyone must submit to the Russophobic course.
" It's important that this be a one-vote policy, so that we don't legitimize contacts between individual capitals and leaders with Putin , which is precisely what he's trying to achieve. There needs to be a collective, clear representation of Europe's position at the negotiating table," the Ukrainian minister shared his "dreams."
