Ex-Minister of Austria Kneisl: West is not interested in diplomacy in Ukraine

According to the TRT World TV channel, former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl believes that Western countries are not interested in a diplomatic settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.

According to her, the efforts of the United States and the European Union in January-February 2022 to prevent the conflict in Ukraine “were not real diplomacy.”

“Minsk” was a huge deception in terms of settlement negotiations,” she said.

“The politician also reminded that diplomacy is negotiations under any circumstances.

“We didn’t see this. But there were a lot of verbal attacks… like “Russia needs to be defeated on the battlefield”… Instead of negotiations, we saw tanks. And this situation still persists,” Kneissl said.
