The differences of opinion between the European Union and the United States in the Ukrainian crisis have created a new source of tension between the two blocs . To avoid new obstacles in the already complicated situation of ex-Soviet republic , Brussels has chosen to express a warm position against American outburst . But in member countries there upset by words that reflect strong differences between U.S. and European diplomacy towards Kiev. The most resounding response has come from Germany , which considers " totally unacceptable " what happened. The clash comes after a year of friction between Brussels and Washington for the massive espionage Obama Administration.
Officially, the EU executive would rather not take the hint : "We are committed to supporting the Ukrainian people in the current political crisis and we have no comment on alleged leaked telephone conversations " , said at a press conference the European Commission spokeswoman Pia Ahrenkilde . With the eco tracks NSA ( U.S. security agency ) even line, the spokesman stressed that the prick of private conversations " not part " of the tools used by the EU to help the Ukrainian people, " that it is centered on what is . "
Privately, some diplomats reason that the European position towards Ukraine can not be as aggressive as the U.S. because if the EU employed exclusively tough , lose credibility and influence in negotiations with Kiev. The proximity of Europe on Ukraine absolutely determines its position, a factor that does not affect Washington, explain these sources.
In leaked telephone conversation on Thursday , Secretary of State for European Affairs of the U.S., Victoria Nuland , explained to the U.S. ambassador in Kiev, Geoffrey Pyatt , the Obama administration has contacted the UN to send a representation Ukraine to try to help solve the crisis opened in the country , adding: " that give the EU." In the call, just over four minutes, the American diplomat in Kiev gives reason to Nuland : " exactly " replies .
The strongest response to the leak has been borne by the head of German government , Angela Merkel , who has shown " full support " to Europe's high representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton. " The chancellor considered totally unacceptable what happened and wants to emphasize that Ashton is doing a great job ," stressed the spokesman of the German Executive , Christiane Wirtz . The resounding reaction Berlin reveals that discomfort in the EU is higher than officially Brussels dares to admit.
Several analysts consulted stressed the difficulty of the work of European diplomacy in Ukraine. In his view , the U.S. and Canada have far easier to impose sanctions because of their economic interests - especially in the energy - plane , are smaller. That added the geographical position of Ukraine , which commits both Russia and the EU . This analysis agrees with the diagnosis of the European institutions.
The episode comes at a complicated bilateral relations between the EU and the U.S. after the NSA exanalista Edward Snowden unveiled less than a year that the U.S. administration had repeatedly spied several European governments and the Commission's own time. At that time, European diplomacy did not respond forcefully and, for now , only a few members, France , Germany and the Belgium - reacted unilaterally .
