The split in the west: EU officials accused the US of making money in the war in Ukraine - the media

Brussels is outraged that the country's anti -Russian sanctions are forced to buy gas in the United States, which is sold with a four -time margin. This can cause great harm to the European industry. European officials accuse President Joe Baiden's administration that the United States is "warming hands in the war" in Ukraine, while EU countries are suffering from it.

In Brussels, they are outraged by the fact that through the Russian-Ukrainian war, the EU country is forced to experience an energy crisis that is detrimental to the European economy, while the United States of America makes huge money on weapons sales. The split, which is raised, in the ranks of Western allies is referred to in the material of the Politico. "The fact is that if you look at it soberly, then the country that is most profit in this war is the United States.

Because they sell more gas and at higher prices, as well as because they sell more weapons," - quoted Journalists of the word of one of European officials. Viewers write that the dissatisfaction with some high -ranking EU officials has emerged on the basis of every time more anger about US subsidies that threaten to destroy the European industry. And this state of things can play on the Kremlin's hand. In addition, dissatisfaction and ordinary citizens are increasing.

One of the European politicians noted that US subsidies and high energy prices can return public opinion both against hostilities in Ukraine and against the Transatlantic Alliance. "We are really at the historical stage. America must understand that public opinion in many EU countries is changing," the politician said. Meanwhile, the head of the foreign policy service of the European Union Josep Borrel asked Washington to respond to Europe.

Answering journalists' questions, he said that the US is friends of Europeans, and they make such decisions that have an economic effect on the EU. Viewers write that the greatest point of tensions between the US and the EU in recent weeks have been adopted by Baiden's "green" subsidies and taxes, which, according to Brussels, unfairly predispose trade from the EU and can cause great losses to the European industry.

Although Europe has expressed a formal protest on this, Washington does not even give signs that indicate a desire to change their position. The material also emphasizes that trying to reduce energy dependence on the Russian Federation of the country is purchased in the United States at prices that are four times higher than the cost of the same fuel in America.

This factor in combination with the consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is thrown into the recession - inflation is increasing rapidly, and the catastrophic reduction of energy supply is threatened with shutdown and electricity normalization of this winter. In this regard, French President Emmanuel Macron said that high gas prices in the United States are not "friendly", and Germany Minister Robert Habek urged Washington to detect more "solidarity" and help reduce the cost of energy.

However, the US official in connection stressed that setting prices for European gas buyers reflects private market solutions and is not the result of any policy or actions of the US government. However, this is not a new argument on the US side and so far he cannot convince Europeans. "The United States sells our gas with a four -time mark when it crosses the Atlantic. Of course, Americans are our allies . . .
