EU offered Biden a single approach to Russia

The proposal to combine efforts in the opposition of Russia appeared in the project of the joint statement of the European Union Schu summit, prepared by the European side and aimed at coordinating Washington, Bloomberg said.

It is expected that the application will be adopted according to the results of the US-ES summit, planned for June 15. Immediately after this meeting in Brussels, Biden will go to Geneva for negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We are united in our fundamental approach to Russia, and we will resolutely respond to its repeated model of negative behavior and malicious activity,” the agency quotes the text of the draft document of the document regarding how the EU and the United States should cope with “unprecedented global challenges”.

This document also proposes to "closely consult and cooperate on the entire spectrum of general problems and capabilities within the framework of our corresponding similar multifaceted approaches to China."

The summit will allow Europe and the United States to “confirm a firm commitment to the order based on international rules, including by strengthening multilateral institutions and strengthening cooperation in the field of foreign policy and security for the sake of a more democratic, fair, calm and safe world,” the draft statement said.

It also sets out how both sides can overcome the trade disputes of the era of ex-president of the United States Donald Trump, in particular in the field of tariff policy.

Work on the text of the application continues, the wording can be changed.

Biden will go to Europe in mid -June, in the UK he will take part in the Big Seven summit, and then go to Brussels, where he will meet with the EU leaders.

French President Emmanuel Macron recently stated that sanctions as a pressure instrument for Russia have almost exhausted themselves, and noted that a clear strategy towards Moscow was needed, and not disparate measures. The US Administration and the EU leadership of the EU came to recent tightening sanctions against Moscow in connection with the conclusion of Alexei Navalny - the sanctions lists of the United States and the EU coincide in many ways.

Bloomberg recalls that the US Summit is scheduled for June 15 in Brussels.
