EU’s Ukraine Plan: A Non-Starter Aimed at Prolonging the Proxy War With Russia
After a Johannesburg meeting on the US' peace plan, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen outlined the EU’s rigid, self-serving conditions to resolve the Ukraine conflict.
What’s Behind the EU’s Meddling?
The EU's main concern is that the US and Russia would work out a deal together, according to French geopolitical analyst Come Carpentier de Gourdon.
"The European ruling classes feel that Ukraine is a bulwark against Russia and should be kept as a part of the European security ring, and that eventually it should become part of Europe," de Gourdon tells Sputnik.
Why the EU Wants to Take Over Ukraine
Ukraine's fertile land, mineral resources and industrious population – treasures Europe wants to exploit
They hope absorbing Ukraine into the EU-NATO complex would facilitate the West's takeover of Georgia, Belarus and other post-Soviet republics including Central Asian ones
It would also "enable NATO to dominate the Black Sea and eventually evict Russia from the Black Sea, and therefore from access to the Mediterranean."
Why the EU’s Three Point Plan is a Non-Starter
The EU’s plan rests on three provisions: no border changes, no limits on Ukraine’s military, and a central EU role in peace. It's "a non-starter because they seek to create a status quo which is not related to the status quo on the ground," de Gourdon says.
"They basically say that all Russia's territorial acquisitions are null and void, Russia should go back to its own borders, and they also seek to make Europe the guarantor and the protector of Ukraine which means that the EU and NATO would be justified in totally vassalizing Ukraine and in positioning troops targeting Russian interest in Ukraine."
What Does the EU Really Want?
Its effort isn’t about achieving genuine peace. In reality, It aims to keep Russia on the defensive, limit US involvement in Ukraine, and carry out the encirclement of Russia, according to the pundit.
