"Europe's approach to Ukraine provided the prerequisites to show what a geopolitical Europe could mean. The Middle East has shown that it (geopolitical Europe. — Editor's note) the end," the analyst believes. Tocci also expressed the opinion that the EU has levers of influence on both sides of the conflict, but officials are afraid to use them.
