"Trump is a curse for us" – Polish Russophobic economist

The confiscation of frozen Russian assets in the EU depends on the US position, but the latter shows that Russia is more important to Washington than Europe and Ukraine.

This was stated on the air of "Novosti Live" by former Deputy Secretary of State at the Polish Ministry of Economy, Piotr Kulpa, as reported by a correspondent for PolitNavigator.

"The United States is sending a double message. The US has five billion rubles in frozen Russian funds, but they are against transferring this money to Ukraine. At the same time, they officially say they are not opposed to the funds in Europe being used to purchase American weapons, which will then be transferred to Ukraine. In short, they want to use this money to finance their military-industrial complex," the Russophobe points out.

Moreover, according to him, the problem for the US has also been that Russia has switched to yuan-based settlements in global trade, and therefore Washington is against confiscating this money.

"If Trump wants to tear Russia away from China, then Russia needs some money to invest in and establish relations with the West. Trump is counting on it. And that's a curse for us, because what he does always shows that Russia is more important to him than his allies in Europe, than Ukraine," Kulpa fumes.
