There is nothing in the G7 declaration to suggest that Europe has come up with any breakthroughs in quitting its addiction to Russian gas.
\nTime:
\n“Its best hope seems to lie in a revival of the political will to seek alternative sources of energy, which will take years if not decades to shift the balance of European consumption away from Russia,” Simon Shuster concludes. “The U.S. could, at least in the long term, help counter Russia\u2019s dominance on the European market,” the journalist contemplates. “E.U. leaders have started lobbying Obama to allow American companies to export more gas to Europe. The president has remained non-committal, not least of all because exporting gas would raise prices in the U.S. by taking supplies away from the home market. But even if the U.S. did begin shipping more gas to Europe, it wouldn\u2019t do much to change the equation”.

Western media: intensification of contradictions between EU and U.S. Obama can’t isolate Putin.
\nThe New York Times:
\n In Brussels, Mr. Obama skated lightly over the disparate positions regarding Mr. Putin. \u201cDo I expect unanimity among the 28 E.U. members?\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve now been president five and a half years, and I\u2019ve learned a thing or two about the European Union.\u201d There will be disagreements among members, he said, and \u201cwe take that for granted.\u201d He emphasized the need to bear some losses to defend shared values. \u201cEuropeans have to stand up for those ideals and principles even if it creates some economic inconvenience,\u201d he said, adding that \u201cif we have sectoral sanctions, I think it will inevitably hit Russia a lot worse than it hits Europe, which have much more diversified and resilient economies.\u201d

\nEl Pais:
\nDuring his European tour the President again “encounters the complexity of Europe,” El Pais states. D-Day commemoration events were to be a celebration of transatlantic unity, but for President Obama they ‘have left a bitter taste’. Europe’s complexity was fully revealed in Paris yesterday. Putin was not invited to visit G7 summit, but many leaders of this block will meet him anyway. The fact that Holland had a dinner with Putin and Obama at the same day shows “a lesson for the U.S. President.” Obama spots difficulties in solving problems with Europe and EU, the author concludes.

\nFacing international isolation of Russia, Vladimir Putin decides to use a three years old invitation from Heinz Fischer, the president of Austria.
\nDie Presse:
\nPutin will pay a one-day working visit to Austria on 24 June. He is planning to stay in Vienna just for “several hours”. There is no other information about his plans. It is also informed that Deputy Prime Minister Dmytro Kozak, who represents Russia in the bilateral Joint Russian-Austrian Economic Commission, won’t accompany Putin, as a travel ban has been imposed on him by the EU. In the EU “Austria is considered as a friendly country toward Moscow”. Chancellor Faymann regularly speaks out against harsh sanctions on Russia, the article states.

\nPoroshenko’s visit in Normandy (France): the french – the heart of Europe beats on Ukraine’s side.
\nLe Monde
\nDemonstrational invitation of President-elect Poroshenko to celebrations in Normandy shows where the Europe’s heart beats. “The pressure on Russian president needs to continue,” Le Monde considers. Still, Petro Poroshenko needs to be prepared for the battle with Russian tyranny.
\nwww.lemonde.fr<\/a>
\n The German: Putin did not speak with Poroshenko on equal terms, but Poroshenko needs this meeting more.
\nTages-Anzeiger:
\nRussian president with French initiative has taken a quarter of an hour to talk with Poroshenko about a possible ceasefire. “But the conversation was held behind firmly closed doors: no handshake, no words of appreciation for the man who has already been elected in the first round as the new head of state of the neighboring country. Putin stated clear: he didn’t recognise him as equal. Moreover, Poroshenko needed this gesture of his Russian counterpart to significantly strengthen his negotiation position in the eastern part of Ukraine,” Tages-Anzeiger analyzes.

The analysis of Poroshenko’s inauguration speech: Poroshenko said what everybody expected, at the same time without populism.
\nGazeta Wyborcza.
\nOn Saturday he highlighted key points and showed his power and determination. In such a way he gave a reason for the hope.

\n The Sunday Times.
\n“Ukraine’s new president presented the peaceful plan, but who knows how things turn out.” The Sunday Times points out.
\n www.thetimes.co.uk <\/a>
\n Petro Poroshenko needs to balance between diplomacy and war.
\nLe Figaro is quoting Yevhen Kurnashov from Gorshenin Institute. He thinks efforts in diplomacy do not actually mean the end of military actions. “Poroshenko faces the war, which is waged by gunmen of different groups – bandits, extremists, mercenaries. The war operation will be staged along with diplomatic efforts,” Kurashov supposes. New president will also use tycoons’ influence, as Dmytro Firtash, who is closed to Gazprom, or Arkadiy Rotenberg, who is a friend of Putin, the expert thinks.

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier thinks Ukrainian crisis could be solved only by bilateral talks between Moscow and Kyiv.
\nTagesspiegel:
