Businessmen of the European Union are concerned about damages in connection with the anti-Russian sanctions, which became the result of a compromise between the economic policies of the EU And their own interests, but in reality It is not that other, as a result of " political bullying of the USA ", a former American diplomat Jim Jatras. Washington has recently expanded penalties against Russia in connection with the situation in Ukraine. But U.S. Secretary of state John Kerry acknowledged that EU member States have not more willing to advocate that "punish" the Russian Federation. Speaking in new York eleven, Kerry expressed his concerns about the fact that U.S. allies will refuse to cooperate on resolving the situation in Ukraine will fail if a nuclear deal with Iran. Jatras said that now the relationship between the U.S. And Europe are not very good. As opposed to sanctions against Iran, which were endorsed by the security Council penalties against Russia have not been approved." Countries such as China, India And others do not agree with these measures, And I am sure that the majority of citizens in the European Union asking yourself: "Why are we doing This?". And I think some people wonder how much pressure we (Americans - approx. Ed.) rendered on our European friends, And It's not literally a friendly gesture to get them to approve of punishment, which is clearly not in their interests, " said the former diplomat. According to the Expert, despite the negative attitude of European countries to sanctions, they are not ready to block them, And the main obstacle in this matter is Germany." It's like a Junior hegemony of the USA in the EU, which puts pressure on other European countries to maintain a common front. No other small EU countries are not ready to go against Germany, and Germany is unwilling to go against US, " - said the expert.
