Rai Elium: Europe, led by France, has defied America
According to IRNA’s report on Monday, quoting the London-based Rai Elium newspaper, the aforementioned differences are intensifying due to the consequences of the war in Ukraine and its negative results in the economy of Western countries, as well as the deterioration of the daily life of the people of Europe.
On the sidelines of the European meeting in Brussels, French President Emmanuel Macron severely criticized America and accused Washington of selling oil and gas to Europeans at four times its price in America itself.
In this regard, French Minister of Economy Bruno Lomar warned Washington against trying to gain economic dominance over the Western world by abusing the war in Ukraine in order to weaken Europe.
French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna went further and said in her speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington: It is necessary to keep the lines of communication open with Russia and its decision-makers, including President Vladimir Putin.
According to Roy Elium, the intensification of European disputes with the United States at the same time as the withdrawal of the Russian army has stopped as a result of the change in the equation of the conflict in the Ukraine war since the appointment of General Sergei Sorovikin as the new Russian commander, representing popular (protests) and official (criticisms) rebellion against the way of management. The war in Ukraine is by the US and President Joe Biden because the US got Europe involved in this war and its sanctions to topple Russia not only failed but backfired as the Russian economy was boosted by the rise in oil and gas prices. And more than 116 billion dollars of excess oil income was deposited into the Russian coffers in the last seven months of the war, and Russia dominated the decision-making centers of the oil-producing countries inside and outside OPEC.
The United States was involved in the explosion of two Russian Nord Stream gas pipelines that supplied energy to Europe, as well as inciting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to destroy the Crimean bridge, as well as giving the green light to Russia and providing an excuse for Moscow to target. The military and civilian infrastructure of Ukraine in the center of Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, and stopping the advance of Ukrainian forces in the four regions annexed to Russia, has suffered a major strategic mistake.
Crushing Ukraine’s infrastructure, especially power plants, will turn Ukrainians’ lives into hell; Especially considering that the temperature in this country reaches more than 20 degrees below zero in the winter season, and the reports received from Kyiv indicate that the streets of the capital are almost completely dark due to the decrease in average energy consumption. The same applies to shopping centers and restaurants and some hospitals in Ukraine.
According to Roy Elium, former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and the main ally of the new Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was the first to sound the alarm, accusing the Ukrainian president of igniting the war in Ukraine at the instigation of President Putin and holding him responsible for this. He knows war. In fact, by crossing all the red lines with this comment, he expressed the heart of most authorities and perhaps European nations.
The war in Ukraine is approaching its decisive end, peaceful or non-peaceful, to the detriment of the United States and its president. It can be said that this official and popular European revolt led by France, which is facing unprecedented public protests, is the most prominent and real sign in this regard.
