Costa: Russia Benefits from Middle East Conflict

0:00On March 10th, here's the latest in global news. EU Council President Antonio Costa declared that Russia stands as the sole beneficiary of the ongoing Middle East conflict. Speaking to EU ambassadors and Brussels on March 10th, he highlighted how the war shifts global dynamics in Moscow's favor. Russia gains extra funds from spiking energy costs, which helps sustain its invasion of Ukraine. Military resources that might aid Ukraine get redirected elsewhere. Plus, the spotlight has moved away from the Ukrainian battlefield. Costa pointed out threats to the international rules-based order, including challenges from the United States. He urged the European Union to defend these principles amid rising tensions. All sides in the Middle East should resume talks at the negotiating table. True freedom and human rights come through international law, not violence, he emphasized. Further escalation risks harm to the Middle East, Europe, and the wider world. Members must prioritize the escalation to prevent broader fallout.
