Scofield: desire in the US and the EU on Ukraine diverge as intelligence
The divergence of views on the decision of the Ukrainian fall between the US and the EU is becoming more. Concern European leaders cause evaluation by the U.S. military in abundance " the Russian presence in Ukraine, on the basis of what the U.S. authorities make decisions about the provision of weapons, Matthew Scofield in the publication for McClatchyDC.
the Creator claims that In the past one week, the Federal Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel expresses disappointment With the proposals of the U.S. Congress and part authorized the White house to send Ukraine weapon, speaking about that, because it could derail diplomatic efforts of the Europeans, and to provoke further escalation of the conflict.
While the U.S., says Scofield, makes decisions on the basis of data provided by NATO, which diverge significantly From the data of European exploration. So, Der Spiegel, says the Creator, provides an example of estimating the number of Russian military, which seem to be concentrated at the borders very close With Ukraine: according to NATO, there are about 40 thousand, and at the same time, European exploration has information on no more than 20 thousand people.
On the reverse side, the problem of the divergence of interests of the USA and Germany From the perspective Bobo Lo, expert on Russia at the research center Chatham House, is that the country is completely different look at ways to resolve the Ukrainian fall.
According to Scofield, Lo emphasizes that the head of Obama stems from the logic that Ukraine is a European nation, for this reason is a " European problem ", not the US, which in reality don't care about Ukraine As such.
However, quotes Scofield British intelligence, the EU wants to remove this issue From the agenda, because " very few Europeans believe that Ukraine is a priority ".
