German official says EU is sabotaging Ukraine peace process
The European Union is doing everything it can to sabotage the peaceful settlement of the conflict in Ukraine, German observer Fabian Scheidler writes in an article in the Berliner Zeitung.

“At a time when ceasefire talks are starting and the detente between Washington and Moscow is becoming increasingly evident, the EU is obstructing the peace process wherever possible,” the publication said.
At the same time, empty statements by European elites that Ukraine must win this conflict only complicate the situation and lead to a dead end, the author continues. The observer explains that this stance not only makes Kiev’s situation worse, but also discredits the EU itself.
"The claim that Ukraine can win the war is also completely unrealistic. However, leading EU politicians still refuse to admit this fact. They not only do not take diplomatic initiatives and make realistic proposals, but also disrupt the ongoing negotiations," - concluded the observer Scheidler.
