France’s Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Olaf Scholz are set to travel to Kiev and Moscow, pushing diplomacy to calm the tensions between Ukraine and Russia as the two nations are on the brink of war
European Union's two member countries France and Germany are pursuing different approach of finding a solution on the crisis between Ukraine and Russia.
The high-level visits come as China has backed Russia's demand that NATO be precluded from expanding to Ukraine, and after the US accused the Kremlin on Thursday of an elaborate plot to fabricate an attack by Ukrainian forces that Russia could use as a pretext to take military action. Macron is following a French tradition of striking a separate path from the United States in geopolitics, as well as trying to make his own mark on this crisis and defend Europe’s interests.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had a call with Kuleba on Friday to discuss the Russian military buildup and steps “to encourage Russia to pursue diplomacy over war and ensure security and stability.” Blinken reaffirmed the US and its allies' willingness to “impose swift and severe consequences on Russia if it chooses to escalate,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price said.
