Criticisms and accusations among Russia's opponents.. Are they signs of dissent among Ukraine's allies?

The writer and political analyst, Ewald Koenig, said that German Economy Minister Robert Habeck meant by his statement that prices are record high, especially since Germany depends mainly on gas, noting that the minister criticized the United States, European countries and the European Commission, for the absence of participation in energy sharing.

And the Minister of Economy, Robert Habeck, Vice Chancellor of Germany, accused the United States and some friendly countries of his country, which are suppliers of natural gas, of what he said was profiting from the exorbitant prices of gas.

He stressed that he is counting on the European Commission to talk about this matter with friendly countries, calling on the European Union countries to enhance its market power and avoid mutual bidding.

The guest of an episode (6/10/2022) of "Beyond the News" program indicated that the minister asked Washington to provide support because the Europeans helped it in the past by setting a ceiling on oil prices.

At the European level, he said that French President Emmanuel Macron had a conflict with the German government over a pipeline from which Spain was prepared to send energy through Germany, as he saw that French interests might be affected by this step, acknowledging the existence of some dissent within the European Union.

On the other hand, Joel Rubin, the former Deputy Assistant to the US Secretary of State, responded to the German minister's statement by saying that Washington does not make a profit and that the American consumer is harmed by energy prices, recalling the decision of the "OPEC Plus" alliance to reduce oil production, which angered the White House.

He stressed that the Washington government does not own the oil companies, and that the beneficiary is the private sector companies and global markets, and said that many countries are working in a gangster way to keep prices high, and that the administration of President Joe Biden is pressuring Saudi Arabia and other countries to produce more gas.

The European welfare phase will come to an end

From the point of view of Professor of International Relations at the University of Geneva, Dr. Hosni Abedi, the German minister's statement indicates the existence of a major problem in the German economy, which is the locomotive of the European economy, and also expresses a great trend within Germany that the United States does not help countries such as Germany.

Abidi suggested that Germany would look for other alternatives if it was left in the corner. He did not rule out the emergence of restlessness within the alliance supporting Ukraine, translated by statements and positions from other ministers, especially in light of the rise of the right to power in Europe, confirming that the partnership with Washington and the war with Russia cost them a lot.

He said that what is happening is closely related to Russia's war on Ukraine, and said that the United States is very beneficiary, as well as Norway, and that Russia is the biggest loser because it has lost a great depth of its gas and security, in addition to the European countries that said that the stage of economic well-being will end with them and the attractiveness of the European Union and the necessity of survival will end. within the Washington Alliance.
