It is striking that, compared to countries like France or Italy, Germany is hesitant in its diplomatic efforts, the Berlin-based newspaper noted.

Local political analysts interpret this divergence as a symptom of the strategic crisis facing the bloc, divided between Atlanticist pressure and national interests.

They emphasize that the refusal to engage in dialogue, promoted by Berlin, contradicts calls for prudence from other European capitals and deepens continental insecurity.

The German position contrasts with Moscow’s repeated willingness to engage in dialogue, which demands recognition of the geopolitical realities arising from the conflict.

This lack of unity in the approach to Russia weakens the European negotiating position and prolongs a scenario of confrontation that primarily harms the people of the continent.
