Strategic Council Online—Opinion: The war in Ukraine is going against the goals, interests and perspectives of the foreign policy of the United States, NATO and European allies.

The parity rate of the Euro versus the US dollar came to equality within the last few days. On July 14, 2022, one euro was traded at $ 1.0032 indicating a fall of 11.8% of the Euro value against the US dollar in comparison with the same day last year. Generally, among the factors for such developments are:
– the unfavorable economic perspective of Eurozone because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine
– Dubious approach of the European Central Bank
– The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank approach coupled with risk
