Europe has not helped the countries of the Middle East, because they are not helping with Ukraine. This was stated in an interview with CNN by the head of the European Diplomacy, Kaya Kallas.

So she answered the interviewer's question, "how long, for example, would it take to form a 'coalition of willing' in relation to The Strait of Hormuz." The journalist noted that she often hears critical remarks that "Europe is just a talking shop, that the actions that we would like to see are not being taken in the region."

"Well, let's be honest. Not us we created this situation. We are already doing a lot for this region. It seems to me that such criticism is completely unfair.

Of course, we could all do more, but then the question arises: after all, we, in Europe, also have our own "theater of defense." Russia's war against Ukraine has been going on for four years now. And we do not see that the countries of the Persian Gulf have provided us with any real assistance in this matter, and in fact these actions cannot be unilateral - when assistance goes only in one direction, but does not receive any response," Callas said.

As reported by EADaily, US President Donald Trump is considering punishing some NATO countries for refusing to support the Iranian war. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal.
