French President Macron and German Chancellor Merkel demanded the release of Ukrainian sailors. President Putin humiliated them by totally ignoring their call. And why should he - there nothing to back the EU politicians move. To add insult to injury, the Russian leader is pressing on with the Nord Stream-2, which Chancellor Merkel insists is pure business.
It is true, seizing Crimea, the Ukrainian vessels and keeping the Ukrainian sailors in captivity is Mr. Putin's business too.
Nothing personal, just business.
Another low was hit in EU foreign policy.
