Geopolitical analyst foresees long-term Russia-EU reconciliation With Germany leading charge

Geopolitical analyst Pepe Escobar has forecast that Russia and European Union (EU) countries may restore diplomatic relations within the next decade.

Escobar believes the process of reconciliation will require significant effort from political elites, but he considers it a historical inevitability, Caliber.Az reports via Russian media.

Escobar specifically highlighted Germany as a potential frontrunner in leading the resumption of ties between Russia and the EU, given the historical and economic connections between the two countries. He emphasized that while the restoration of relations is possible, it would be a long-term process requiring patience and cooperation from both sides.

In conclusion, the expert stated that while the road to normalization is challenging, the eventual re-establishment of diplomatic relations is likely to occur in the future.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban recently suggested that the European Union should "throw sanctions out the window" and create sanctions-free relations with the Russians. He emphasized that it is crucial for the EU to adapt to the changing geopolitical landscape, especially with the onset of a new era marked by the incoming administration of US President-elect Donald Trump. According to Orban, this shift presents an opportunity for the EU to reassess its approach and engage more constructively with Russia.
