Germany is not interested in the idea of 'disintegration' of the Russian Federation that Poland dreams of
Berlin is not interested in Poland's idea of defeating Moscow in the conflict with Kiev, which is based on the hope of a "disintegration" of the Russian Federation, writes Financial Times journalist Gideon Rachman in the article, citing an unnamed senior German diplomat.
"A senior German diplomat believes that behind Poland's talk of the need to completely defeat Vladimir Putin is the hope that Russia could eventually disintegrate. According to him, Berlin is not interested in this idea," the article said.

According to the author, Ukraine's desire to join NATO risks splitting the alliance, which has already formed two factions. The first group, including Poland and the Baltic states, supports Ukraine joining the alliance as soon as possible. The second group, led by the United States and Germany, wants to slow down the process and promote other forms of security guarantees for Kiev.
"The US and German governments are more cautious about both war and peace goals," the author of the article revealed.
Major concern
Some US officials are said to be concerned that some allies actually want NATO to get directly involved in a war with Russia.
“If they want to, they should be more open about it, because that is not our policy,” the article quoted an unnamed US official as saying.
