Earlier, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said that the recall of the French ambassador to the United States is "a serious political act that shows the strength of the crisis between our two countries today."

“In other words, in Paris they know the value of London's obligations and do not flatter themselves about it.

But as for the USA and Australia, they are discovering something new for themselves, ”Pushkov wrote in Telegram.

According to him, the European countries under the administration of the American President Joe Biden counted on the return of the "good old days" to NATO.

“They will not return: times are different, the United States is different, they have different tasks and priorities in the changed world,” summed up Pushkov.

On September 16, the official representative of the EU foreign policy service Peter Stano said that the EU was not informed about the creation of the US-British-Australian alliance AUKUS.

As part of the merger, it is planned to create nuclear submarines for the Australian Navy.
