The foreign journalist recalled that in March 2022, the launched program of redemption of the state debts of the EU countries by the European Central Bank (ECB) and regulators of the EU member states will be completed.
According to Koshar, the ECB plans to continue to reinvest the proceeds from the redeemed bonds - in fact, monetize or cancel the national debt.
This will be beneficial primarily for France and Italy, since the regulator will be able to buy back up to 80% of their new bonds, which is contrary to the spirit of the Maastrichst criteria.
The author drew attention to the position of the FRG - Germany does not like this state of affairs and the country therefore puts pressure on the ECB.
As the first way out of this situation, the Atlantico journalist suggests Germany lobbying for its position in the ECB.
The second prediction implies a reconciliation with Russia with Moscow's proposals on guarantees that NATO will not expand eastward.
According to Koshar, the situation around Ukraine is similar to the Cuban missile crisis, which was resolved by eliminating the nuclear threat to the United States from Cuba.
"The US-Russian talks scheduled for January may finally end the Cold War and the division of the continent 30 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union," the journalist concluded.
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, following talks with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, announced the readiness of the North Atlantic Alliance for a meaningful conversation with Russia.
Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Russian-American consultations on security guarantees, as planned, will be held on January 10 in Geneva.
