The way the EU reacted to Venezuela, it couldn’t get much worse. But is that really the Russian objective?
Why would France and Germany alone not be stronger than Russia? Apart from Nukes, if Russia aligns with Europe, e.g. like Norway, wouldn’t that shift power to the EU?
The context in the debate is the rejected peace treaty. It puts pressure on Ukraine to sign as soon as possible. Russia was willing to stop and sign the treaty earlier which should show that expanding the territory is not the primary goal.
The Indonesian president afterwards mentions the influence of the media. It’s not as obvious as with Venezuela but the Ukraine war is also a big western resource grab. Framing Putin as an unreasonable imperialist hides that in plain sight.
Do you have a quote for that?
I have checked his essay https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Historical_Unity_of_Russians_and_Ukrainians and it doesn’t sound that extensive.
Which doctrin?
