Hungry and poor Ukrainians are easier to set against Russians
Ukraine's refusal to participate in the Customs Union in favor of an association agreement with the European Union has only led to impoverishment and unemployment among Ukrainian citizens. This situation is beneficial to the Americans - it is easier to set the hungry and angry population against the Russians of Donbass, diverting Russian forces to the conflict.
This opinion was shared by Russian political scientist Sergei Markov on the talk show “60 Minutes,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Somewhere around 2014 there was a serious dispute between the European and American approaches.
The Europeans said: “Let us involve Ukraine and make it a showcase for Russia, “How to be good friends with the West,” so that the Russians will believe and go there.”
The Americans came and said: “Are you Europeans ready to pay? Do you have the money to pay for it?”, they were told that “there is no money.” In response, the Americans said: “Are you ready to take responsibility for the government there, so that it does the right things?”, The Europeans said: “no.” Americans: “Do you even have one person who was in charge?” They were told: “Well, we have the European Union there...” said Markov.
He recalled how State Department representative Victoria Nuland called the American ambassador to Kyiv during the coup in Ukraine and stated that he should send all Europeans.
“There will be a different concept. There will be not Ukraine as a showcase, but Ukraine as a black hole, as anti-Russia. This project is being implemented.
What needs to be done for this to create anti-Russia? Destroy Orthodoxy, that’s what they destroy. Destroy the Russian language.
Do you think anyone there is worried about economic development? No, I’ll tell you a secret about your country. In order to make it easier to recruit young people into soldiers and send them to kill their fellow citizens, the main thing is that they are unemployed and poor. Got it? According to the plan, they want to make you unemployed and poor! Open your eyes! – Markov emphasized.
