“To this day, the majority of Germans support friendly relations with Moscow. This is incompatible with the position of German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, who at the NATO meeting calls for a “united response” to the actions of the Russian Federation.

At the same time, German political scientist Alexander Rahr says that the leading EU countries of Europe are still trying to improve relations with Russia, but the geopolitical plans of the United States are preventing this.

“There are still a lot of disagreements between the EU and the US, and Europe itself is experiencing an internal crisis. In order to consolidate in this situation, the States are choosing primitive tactics - creating a common enemy in the person of the Russian Federation and China,” says Rahr.
