Russia has been warned it will be swiftly hit with an “unprecedented package of sanctions” in the event of fresh incursion in Ukraine after world leaders, of Britain, the US, Germany, Italy, Poland and France, presented a united front to combat a feared invasion. But Germany has raised concerns over its reaction to the threat posed by Russia to Ukraine after it recently blocked NATO ally Estonia from giving Ukraine military support.
Critics say Germany could be reluctant to move against Russia due to the Nord Stream 2 pipeline – which is to transport Russian gas to Germany bypassing Ukraine, despite threats from Berlin to cut this deal off in the event of all-out war.
And now the US is said to have doubts about Germany’s loyalty to the alliance.
