The United States, Europe, and Ukraine have disagreed over the goals of the conflict and how it will end.

Axar.az reports the New York Times quoted diplomatic sources in the White House as saying.

"The United States, Europe, and Ukraine have different views on what to do next," he said. An example of this is the reluctance of a number of European countries, including Hungary, to support the embargo on oil supplies from Russia.

It is noted that the Europeans are still not trying to refuse to import Russian gas:

"At the same time, France, Germany, and Italy are concerned that the conflict could drag on and fear that it will hurt their economies."
