The world has dramatically changed opinion about Russia and Ukraine can count on the support of G7
For Ukraine there was a positive winds in the international arena. More recently, I started to think that Putin still won. Ukrainians realized how deeply it has penetrated into the democratic institutions of Europe and the world and how many are actually his agents of influence, on which he spared neither money nor effort. And all this was achieved not in one year, says the plot of TSN.Week.
Recently the painting was not in favor of Ukraine:
in the United States wins supposedly loyal to Putin, Donald trump;
– in Germany, blasted immigrant operation and allegedly raped Lisa Merkel, the election campaign has already started;
– France needs to elect a President – the first round in April. And replaced by Hollande, the main contenders were two putinofila. One of them is marine Le Pen, who received money from the Kremlin directly.
– referendum in the Netherlands, stopped the Association agreement with Ukraine at all.
And it seemed that Ukraine remains without allies and support. And that was only two months of 2017 and this seems a winning combination for Putin begins to fall apart.
The first was the President of the United States Donald trump, who was considered a supporter of the Kremlin and now all the forces trying to distance itself from this damning connection.
After America, it seems, begin to see the citizens of key allies: France and Germany. In Paris, experts predict a high-profile failure in the elections of the President of the “friends of Putin” marine Le Pen. The favorite of this race suddenly becomes a little-known us politician Emanuel macron critic of Putin, who openly fears the Imperial appetites of Russia. So support can we expect from him.
In Germany the situation plays into the hands of Ukraine even more. On the eve of their elections, the Germans give the political sympathies of the leaders of the two largest parties – Angela Merkel and Martin Schulz. Each supports more than 40% of voters, say German sociologists. Both policies are deeply aware of Putin and totally don’t trust him, but helping Ukraine.
Strongly supported the struggle of the Ukrainian and anti-Russian sanctions and the Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe.
For the punishment of Russia made Italy.
And Britain never changed the perception of the Kremlin as an enemy.
Oh, and one more country, that due to the large Ukrainian Diaspora can always hope. This – Canada.
The result is that Ukraine has the support of the “Big seven”, which is unlikely to again become the “Big eight” and will back Putin and the Kremlin.
And if Ukraine does not make mistakes – stop stealing, will put corrupt officials actually, not on paper, will cease to make war earnings through questionable formulas of the “Rotterdam plus”, and will become a country of law, which is not afraid to invest, then you can really count on the goodwill of the rest of the world and help in the fight against an armed aggressor. The balance of power now contributes to.
And the Netherlands, by the way, in the lower house of Parliament has voted in favor of the Association and Pro-Ukrainian Prime Minister Rutte again gaining popularity the Dutch.
