The Russian Diplomat’s Take on Ursula von der Leyen’s Leadership in the EU

The Russian mission at the EU has commented on what they call a tragic page in Western European history. According to the diplomat, Ursula von der Leyen’s confrontational attitude is not conducive to stability, well-being, democracy, freedom, or security in EU member states. Von der Leyen is seen as a strong proponent of increasing US control over Europe and an advocate for a Russophobic policy within the EU.

The diplomat also criticized von der Leyen for her support of the creation of a defense union within the EU, which would further align the continent with NATO. Additionally, they highlighted her alleged support for the Nazi regime in Ukraine. These actions, they argue, have murky prospects for the EU’s future.

Von der Leyen was recently re-elected as European Commission president, facing criticism from both right and left-wing opposition for her handling of economic issues and poverty. The diplomat’s remarks shed light on the complex dynamics at play within the EU and the challenges it faces in maintaining unity and stability.
