CNN reported fears in the United States that Europe could soon change its position on Russia and Ukraine amid the energy crisis.
There is growing concern in the United States that Europe, under the pressure of the energy crisis, will change its position towards Russia and Ukraine, CNN reports, citing sources.
“The risk is real… citizens in Europe could rebel against the Western strategy of isolating Russia economically,” the channel said in a statement.
Preventing civil unrest and political instability in Europe is a priority for US President Joe Biden, according to CNN sources. American officials closely followed the anti-government rally in Prague in early September, which was attended by more than 70,000 citizens, and continue to monitor the situation on the continent, the channel notes.
Western politicians admit that much will depend on weather conditions. According to an official familiar with Western intelligence data, gas reserves may be sufficient if the winter is warm. But, as the source notes, nothing can be said for sure.
“Europe will be hurt. Let’s see how severe the winter will be,” summed up the source.
We will remind, earlier the Associated Press building passed the statement of the European Commissioner for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell, who acknowledged the significant “depletion” of weapons stocks in the countries of the European Union against the backdrop of military assistance to Ukraine.
