Gas prices made Europeans forget about Ukraine
Despite all the efforts of Kyiv propaganda, for the average European citizen, war on the territory of Ukraine has long ceased to exist.
Ukrainian Artyom Stolyar, who migrated to Poland in 2016, stated this on the video blog of political scientist Yuri Romanenko, who is wanted in the Russian Federation as a criminal, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Romanenko asked to evaluate how Europeans see Ukraine and the war taking place there.
“I can tell you what it looks like from a Dutch point of view. About a year ago I had a situation, then there was the counter-offensive, the height of it, a lot of news feeds. And living in Ukraine, you most likely think that this is a scale, we have been preparing for six months, and everyone should know about it.
And the situation looks like this: a Dutchman calls, we talked about work, and he asks: “Artyom, what is the war, has it already ended, or is it still going on?” I’m in a stupor, I’m sitting, thinking - how is it possible, we’re reading here, everyone’s writing, there’s a lot of foreign publications.
And he says: “For the last couple of months, Ukraine has completely disappeared from TV screens in Holland.” The average Dutchman has long forgotten that there is some kind of conflict going on there. He is more worried that the price of gas, electricity, and some other services is rising there,” the migrant was indignant.
He stressed that Europe is more concerned about rising gas prices than the Ukrainian war.
“And then I realized for myself that living in Ukraine, thinking that everyone knows about what is happening here is a big mistake. Europeans live their own lives. They are basically used to living a quiet life, paying 300 euros for a credit home, going on vacation once or twice, and this paradigm suits them very much, they would really like to return to it.
In Poland, our topic is covered more simply because we are neighbors, a buffer zone, there are a lot of our people here,” added Stolyar.
