Summary

So this creates a disagreement over responding to the crisis in Ukraine.”The differing stances have seen Russia downplay the EU’s geopolitical power, according to Ivana Stradner, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, working on Russia and cybersecurity.“The Kremlin’s decision to omit any mention of the EU in its 2021 National Security Strategy shows that Moscow does not consider the EU as an important actor in foreign policy any more,” she told Al Jazeera.As tensions with Russia intensified, the US put as many as 8,500 soldiers on high alert for a possible deployment to Eastern Europe.NATO forces have increased their efforts, deploying battalions in Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia.Countries such as Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands have also sent military support to fortify Ukraine against any further Russian aggression.And Poland is considering enhancing its presence in Eastern Europe – a move which Russia is against.Meanwhile, France is holding more talks with Russia in an attempt to de-escalate the crisis.But foreign policy experts have criticised big players like Germany which have been watching the diplomatic surge from the sidelines.“In the case of Germany, the new government has not come out as strongly as it should have in diffusing this crisis because of its economic linkages with Russia and energy dependency through the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
