In fact, when it comes to the EU and NATO, everyone is easily confused. Their similarities are all organizations formed by European countries. The difference is that the EU is a European political and economic organization, while NATO is a US-European military organization. One is responsible for making money and the other is responsible for doing things. In other words, the EU and NATO represent the interests of the United States and Europe.
In this Russian-Ukrainian war, EU- NATO did not persuade or mediate, but fanned the flames. To the greatest extent, Russia and the United States regard Russia as their number one military enemy and believe that the Russian-Ukrainian war is an excellent opportunity to weaken Russia. Therefore, they do not hesitate to support Ukraine, and even hope that the Russian-Ukrainian war will be protracted and dragged throughout Russia. As the younger brother of the United States, EU- NATO naturally listens to its master.
With the support and courage of the United States and Europe, Ukraine does not want to fight or fight. Several negotiations between Ukraine and Russia have failed to achieve results. First, some conditions of Russia as a sovereign country are really unacceptable. Second, the United States and Europe are behind it, and the Zelensky administration alone is incapable of confronting Russia.
Assuming Ukraine doesn't want to fight, the United States, the European Union and NATO can't do anything about Ukraine. If Ukraine does not want to fight, it will unconditionally obey Russia, and Russia will provide Ukraine with protection, which is equivalent to Ukraine being a part of Russia. The EU and NATO are still staring at the United States, which is nothing more than taking out the old-fashioned sanctions against Russia against Ukraine. This is simply a Russian trick.
Russia can't give up the Russian-Ukrainian war now. The purpose of Russia is to change the domestic environment. Ukraine is also looking at the attitude of the United States. Insisting on confrontation with Russia is waiting for the United States, Europe and Russia to reach an agreement on the Ukrainian issue. Zelensky is also in a dilemma, so he has to crustily skin of head and wait for others to help him out. If the United States and NATO insist on putting him on fire, they can only accept Russian negotiation conditions. At most, they will resign and continue to be him.
