Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the relationship between Russia and Europe has become extremely tense. Lithuania 's move to block land access to the Russian enclave Kaliningrad has brought Russia-EU relations to the edge of danger. However, this time EU is more nervous than Russia, because blocking the Russian enclave is already an act that crosses the line, and if you are not careful, the entire Europe will be hit by Russia. Therefore, the EU immediately expressed its opposition to Lithuania's blockade of the Russian enclave and put pressure on Lithuania. It recently reached an agreement with Russia on transportation issues in Kaliningrad.
Judging from the EU's performance on this matter, it is still wary of Russia, so it does not want to get into trouble. In addition, Russia has already blocked its energy lifeline. Easing relations with Russia is the EU's top priority. I thought that Russia-EU relations could be eased, but I didn't expect that after the EU lifted the ban on Russian enclaves, it turned around and ordered the confiscation of Russian assets. According to relevant news, the EU has allowed the confiscation of Russian assets in the EU. Now Ukraine finally got what it wanted, but what is the difference between this and banditry?
Since the outbreak of the conflict, the EU has frozen approximately 13.8 billion US dollars of Russian assets. Now the freezing order continues to increase. What is the meaning of the EU giving Russia a date after a slap in the face? The editor has two opinions on this: First, the Kaliningrad matter depends on Lithuania's attitude. Although Russia and Europe have reached a consensus, as long as Lithuania does not relent, the transportation channel will still not be unblocked. Judging from the current situation, Lithuania is mostly following orders from the United States, so it is useless for the EU and Russia to reach an agreement. It still depends on whether Lithuania can be persuaded. This means that the EU's move has no substantive significance. Judging from its subsequent order to confiscate Russian assets, it still insists on confronting Russia and firmly stands on the side of the United States.
Second, the unblocking of Kaliningrad can also be regarded as the EU taking the opportunity to get rid of the relationship. After all, it is afraid of fear, but the means of attacking Russia must continue to keep up. This is the "true face" of the EU. These confiscated Russian assets may not necessarily be used to rebuild Ukraine. After all, Western countries are all about profit. Why will it be Ukraine's turn to benefit? Of course, they must enjoy it first. Otherwise, if so many Russian assets have been confiscated before, why are there no countries handing them over to Ukraine for reconstruction? But now, Russia-EU relations are destined to be irreversible. I hope Russia can realize this.
Even if the EU does not want to suffer retaliation from Russia for Lithuania, it is essentially no different from NATO , so whether it is Lithuania or the EU, Russia should not continue to be soft. You must know that other countries will not listen at all if you talk too hard. Only by toughening up can they realize that Russia is not joking. In short, the EU's attacks are still continuing and are gradually increasing. Russia's countermeasures should also be upgraded. The EU must not be fake deceived by his overtures!
