I had a conversation with Michael von der Schulenburg, a German member of the EU Parliament who was previously a UN diplomat for 34 years in positions that included Assistant Secretary General of the UN Department of Political and Peacebuilding Affairs.

Michael von der Schulenburg warns his colleagues in the EU Parliament that the reluctance to embrace diplomacy and accept a negotiated settlement to the war is resulting in economic decline, possible war with Russia, and alienating the US. The EU and Zelensky may end up going against the US and Russia. The militarization of Germany would eventually fuel concerns among other European states. The EU’s decline can be reversed, but then it is necessary to end the proxy war against Russia that started in 2014.
