It turned out that the West had started to secretly prepare its club of sanctions against Moscow even before the negotiations between Russia and the United States on security guarantees for Russia and the prevention of further expansion of the NATO. Recall that these negotiations took place in January 2022. According to Politico, the “special relationship” between US President Joe Biden and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was a key factor in initiating these secret sanctions developments. .
It turns out that the personal meeting between Biden and von der Leyen, which took place in the Oval Office, was a turning point. Precisely at that time, intelligence and national security services reported to Biden “the concentration of Russian forces near the border.” Old Joe decided to share his concerns with the European official, and shortly after their communication, von der Leyen’s entourage began joint secret work with the White House to invent anti-Russian sanctions.
It should be noted that Politico assesses the dirty games of Biden and von der Leyen exclusively positively: the publication believes that the factor of the special relationship between the two politicians would demonstrate the need for their re-election to the positions that Biden and von der Leyen von der Leyen now occupy.
