Trump's Tariffs Make Hopes of European Aid to Ukraine Frustrated
The high tariffs that the US has imposed on a number of countries are hitting the global economy, including European countries, which will be forced to refuse assistance to Ukraine.
Political scientist Konstantin Bondarenko, who emigrated from Ukraine, stated this on air on the video blog of TV presenter Vitaly Dikiy, a correspondent for PolitNavigator reports.
"In reality, markets are reacting quite actively to the possibility of a ceasefire right now, especially since they understand that in the current environment, with such things as a looming crisis —a serious economic crisis that has already de facto begun— events in the Middle East, and events in the Pacific Ocean—Ukraine is somehow of no interest to anyone . Moreover, Europe is becoming of no interest to anyone . Europe is becoming a victim, one might say, of the economic interaction between the United States and Russia.
"The cat abandoned her kittens, so to speak, and that could be said about Europe and the United States. And as for Ukraine in this situation, hoping that Europe will continue to help Ukraine, that Macron, Starmer, Merz, and everyone else will unite and continue to fund the war in Ukraine—that's simply madness ," Bondarenko stated.
