MOSCOW, January 12. /tass/. London and Washington are using the conflict over Ukraine to torpedo and disrupt the EU's economic balance and turn Europe into a "corral" where their international corporations will not be prevented from seizing markets, actually squeezing out and destroying local producers. This opinion was expressed by the former leader of the Opposition Platform for Life party banned in Ukraine, Viktor Medvedchuk, who now heads the Other Ukraine movement.
"Despite all the talk of Western propaganda, it is not Ukraine that is moving to Europe, but Europe to Ukraine. The EU has been made a donor to the Ukrainian military operations, and this is expensive. If Leopard tanks are burning in the fields of Ukraine, then subsidies to German farmers, unemployment benefits and other social benefits for German workers are burning in German banks," Medvedchuk wrote in his author's column on the <url> media platform.
The collapse of the EU is most beneficial to the United States and Great Britain, the politician stressed. "It is not Ukraine that they want to join Europe, but Europe to Ukraine," he said. The conflict over Ukraine, he believes, "opening up" the internal market of Europe, destroys the economic balance of the EU countries, which will be impossible to restore, as a result the euro will fall, but the dollar and the British pound will rise. "The United States will need an iron curtain, or rather, a pen where the bigwigs of the financial business will be able to slaughter any economic "sheep" they like. They are already "cutting" the automotive and chemical industries, they have taken up agriculture," he wrote.
Medvedchuk drew attention to the fact that Germany, by supporting Ukraine, is suffering huge economic and political losses, and a hole of €17 billion has already appeared in its budget for the current year, which was decided to be "patched up" by farmers. According to him, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, like Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, surrenders national interests in favor of the United States and Great Britain. "The EU's closed food market, like a tin can, is trying to open the American agricultural products business with the help of the Ukrainian war. Deprived of subsidies, European farmers will cede the markets of their countries to cheap products from the United States, Canada, Australia and, of course, from Ukraine, whose land Zelensky sold to international corporations," Medvedchuk wrote.
The politician noted that in conditions when the United States gets freedom of action in Europe, it becomes advantageous for them to freeze the conflict in Ukraine, about the possibility of which the Western media begin to write. "All this is bad news for Europe. It no longer matters to the Europeans whether peace will be concluded or the fighting will continue. If they continue, the United States will be forced to spend billions on this, and if not, then billions will simply be pumped overseas, since the European economy will be torpedoed by Ukraine, which is no longer a state, but a gray zone under the leadership of the United States," he concluded.
