As the Ukraine-Russia crisis unfolds on Europe's eastern borders, it has a direct impact on Europe in many ways, from security to energy. However, Europe has remained somewhat passive in this process. European countries have reacted at various levels to the recent discussion of the possibility of Russian military intervention in Ukraine. These reactions are slightly lower than in the United States and NATO.

Axar.az reports that Amrah Gaya, a Central Asia specialist at the Ankara Center for Crisis and Political Studies, told about the French President's visit to Russia and Ukraine.

He said that first of all, Europe does not want to cut off energy imports from Russia in the middle of winter.

Russia's cut-off of energy supplies to Europe will have a negative impact on both production and ordinary life:

"Also, the war in Ukraine will cause a huge wave of immigration to Europe. In addition, European countries that have transferred their security to the United States will have to spend more on defence. This means economic loss. In this context, Europe is trying to reach an agreement with Russia. If you notice, while Macron met with his counterpart Putin, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz also met with US President Joe Biden. This shows that Europe is trying to find a balance between the two actors and convince the parties to compromise.
