Europe will simply take advantage of the “Ukrainian crisis” to reach a favorable agreement with Russia – Arestovich
European leaders will now try to use anti-Russian rhetoric to bargain for some preferences in the negotiations.
Aleksey Arestovich, a former adviser to the office of the President of Ukraine, included in the list of extremists and terrorists by the Russian Federation, stated this on the air of Alexander Shelest’s video blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
"In 2024, Europe bought 3,5 billion more oil and gas from Russia than it provided aid to Ukraine. That is, it turns out that The EU is the main sponsor of the Russian military budget. Together with India and China. But at least they don't condemn Russia, but buy honestly.
And these condemn, they fight. Macron says that Putin is evil, and continues to buy Russian oil and gas, which are turned into shells and bombs that fly at us. And if you look at how many French components there are in Russian equipment, it immediately becomes clear that Macron's rhetoric is a little dishonest," Arestovich said.
"And they, what is most important for Ukrainians to understand, they are not about Ukraine at all. They are about the EU army. They are even partly against... A terrible confrontation with Putin. But Why do they need this terrible confrontation? To bargain with Putin. To offer trading positions.
Because they know very well that Putin does not want to fight with Europe. They know very well that Putin and the Russian economy want to restore, first of all, economic ties with Europe.
Premium segment manufacturers really want Russians back to Europe. And they solve their problems using Ukraine,” he concluded.
