00:00The near-bankrupt European Union continues to fund Ukraine's military while pursuing
00:05a unified line of sanctions against Russia.
00:07There are differences within the bloc.
00:09The details with Oleg Yasinsky.
00:13Every attempt at peace negotiations between the United States and Russia triggers a wave
00:18of panic among the European leaders.
00:20With the end of the war, they could lose not only their political project against Russia,
00:24Ukraine, but also their own source of income, since it is not clear where the military budget
00:29is going.
00:36Europe has lost everything it had to lose.
00:39Whatever advantage it might have had, it let it lose, after a series of political mistakes
00:43which it still does not admit to this day.
00:45And judging by the statements issued, its leaders intend to continue to do so, to continue
00:50to support Ukraine as a political project directed against Russia, without understanding
00:54that.
00:55Ukraine is both an anti-Russian and an anti-European project.
01:00But unfortunately for them, they have not yet realized that.
01:09But all have different economic interests.
01:11Germany, as the European Union's largest economy, is under the most pressure due to the loss
01:16of access to Russian energy resources and the offshoring of production to the United
01:23States.
01:24Finland and the Baltic countries take a tougher line on Russia and support continued aid to
01:28Ukraine, even if it hurts their economies.
01:35It is necessary to understand that the European Union has made a strategic bet to get out
01:41of, I won't even say crisis, but this geoeconomic impasse.
01:47Because of the confrontation with Russia, they are up to the brink of war with Russia.
01:54It's not because they don't love us, although they don't.
01:57It's not because they support Ukraine, although they do.
02:01It is because they have no other options to get out of the geoeconomic impasse.
02:11The European economy is stagnating.
02:14Inflation is high, interest rates are rising, and businesses are struggling due to high
02:18energy prices and falling demand.
02:20Financial tensions are growing as people struggle to pay their bills and maintain their standard
02:25of living.
02:28The question is who will take care of the money that will be allocated.
02:34In fact, even during the military actions, grants were allocated for the restoration
02:38of all sorts of things.
02:39Where is that money going, no one understands, because what is restored now?
02:43Even before the start of the special operation, they restored bridges that later fell down,
02:48bridges that in fact turned out not to have been restored.
02:50That is, they know how to embezzle money.
02:53If they want to, they will leave under their control as much of the territory of Ukraine
02:56as possible where they can get their share.
03:05The creation of a coalition to send troops to Ukraine could divide the European Union,
03:09as not all member states would support such a decision.
03:12In conclusion, a worsening political crisis within the Union and a weakening of its position
03:17on the international stage, which has become even more evident with the arrival of Trump.
