Brussels threatens Moscow with a finger - and this is the only thing he can do in terms of the development of the situation in the Sea of ??Azov. So commented on the words of the head of EU diplomacy Federiki Mogherini, Doctor of Political Sciences, Professor of Moscow State University Andrei Manoilo. The day before, she threatened that the European Union was “ready to take targeted measures” to contain Russia in the region. “She is not referring to any concrete targeted measures now, but as a hardened European politician makes declarative statements,” said Manoylo.. He noted that the EU has no leverage: it has no relation to the Sea of ??Azov, it has no right to operate there. Yes, and to defend Kiev in this situation, Brussels is not going to, although it does not miss the opportunity to play on its contradictions with Moscow. "For the Brussels bureaucracy, this is an opportunity to give a signal to the United States that they, too, are on the front line, have expressed" phi "of the Russian Federation. But waving fists from afar is one thing, and introducing real measures is quite another, "said the expert in an interview with RT..

He explained that Europeans are exacerbating relations with the Russian Federation when it is beneficial for them..

“It’s just that European countries cannot get involved in nonsense,” said Manoilo.. In turn, the deputy of the State Council of Crimea Vladislav Ganzhara still found how Brussels can affect the growing conflict in Azov. “It would be better for the European Union to influence the Ukrainian state, which carried out a number of provocations in the Sea of ??Azov,” Ganzhara said, recalling that all actions of the Russian Federation in the water area comply with the norms of the International Maritime Law.
