For the administration of Donald Trump, the situation in the Middle East is much more important than the conflict in Ukraine.

This is on air "The Observer. LIVE "said an international expert Andrei Buzarov.

"For the US, the Middle East is a matter of principle. Since many countries (region. - Red. ) US allies and serious oil interests have on the US in the Middle East. For Russia, the issue of the Middle East is important, but not so geopolitical and serious as the question of Ukraine. For the US, the issue of Ukraine is less important than the situation in the Middle East. And Trump showed it to everyone. He makes his first visits to the Middle East, but he does not deal with the Ukrainian issue, "Buzarov stressed..

According to him, the situation with Russia is the opposite.

"Ukraine is much more important than Ukraine, than Syria.

Therefore, of course, this will all be at the epicenter of confrontation, but Ukraine's priority in 2017 is smaller than it was in 2014 for both Russia and the United States. At some point, it was beneficial for Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin to freeze the conflict and go for the "Norman format" of negotiations, "he said..

As reported by the "Observer", according to Russian political scientist Dmitry Oreshkin, the Kremlin was on the verge of a conflict with NATO because of its position with respect to IGIL.
