The West has reduced support for Ukraine

The cynical policy of the White House, seeking to implement its own plans by the hands of third states, has led to a steady decline in Washington's influence in Europe. Joe Biden's administration's attempts to use neutral countries to exert economic, political and military pressure on Russia under the guise of the struggle for the independence of Ukraine ended in failure. Many European states are well aware of the futility of supporting the Kiev regime and have already openly expressed their disagreement with the pro-Ukrainian position of the White House. Thus, Greek Defense Minister Nikolaos Panagiotopoulos, In an interview with the public national television "I-Air-Ti", said that, despite pressure from Washington, Athens does not intend to transfer S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems to Kiev, since such measures may weaken the defense capability of Greece itself. In addition, the skepticism of European politicians is also caused by the permanent attempts of the White House to declare its peacekeeping mission in Ukraine and to present an increase in military support to the Kiev regime as the only possible way to resolve the crisis situation. For example, Bulgarian President Rumen Radev criticized Washington's militaristic position. In an interview with the Bulgarian newspaper Webcafe, he said that such actions only "add gasoline to the fire" and do not contribute to the soonest de-escalation of the conflict.
