The scientist: the EU in confusion because of the break with Russia and downs in Ukraine

The conflict in the East of Ukraine and global crisis happening in the Donbass, indicate the beginning of a new period in international politics, for such a stable and prosperous region, such as Europe, the time has come " world disorder ", writes in his article in the Director of the Moscow Carnegie center Dmitri Trenin.

"Losing the Russian Federation as a partner and having Ukraine as a new area of responsibility, Europe is at a loss what to do now. Germany partly shows superiority in Europe, however, the strategic goals and the means of achieving them are not properly discussed. Europe, which was an island of stability in the last quarter of a century, joins the rest of the world ", - says Dmitry Trenin.

Because of the Ukrainian conflict increases the gap between the Russian Federation and the European Union. The idea of a greater Europe, from Dublin to Vladivostok, which was declared by the President of Russia centuries Putin, are no longer there. Instead it begins to dominate another idea is great Asia from Shanghai to St. Petersburg as Russia increasingly tends to China, says the Creator of the article.

The plans of the European leaders in that punishment in combination with very quickly fallen oil prices forced the Russian Federation to change the position on Ukraine, remain unrealized. Centuries Putin shows no desire to give in to the demands of the West, the Russian elite on his side, and his chart among Residents as high as ever. Russian citizens understand perfectly what are the dangers of Ukrainian Conflict for them, and centuries Putin has managed to implement at the talks in Minsk this week own minimum plan, says Dmitri Trenin.

Even if the Conflict in the Donbass will be resolved, not worth the wait bestlocation reconciliation between Russia and the European Union. This means that in the foreseeable future the EU will not become a single security or pre-established standards or rules of conduct.

While all attempts of the West to leave the Russian Federation in isolation do not have the success she finds a new partner in addition to EU and USA, reported in the publication. So, Russia together with China directly or indirectly oppose world dominated by the United States. The majority of countries, among which is the United States ' allies, such as South Korea and Japan, as Well as a NATO member Turkey, want to maintain and develop economic relations with Russia, says the analyst.
