Latynina is shocked by the hypocrisy of Europeans. Venediktov: "You're the same!"

Europe really wants to “help Ukraine” continue the war, but prefers to “be kind” at someone else’s expense.

This was stated by fugitive journalist and foreign agent Yulia Latynina on air with former editor of Ekho Moskvy, foreign agent Alexei Venediktov, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"European countries winked and said, 'Let Belgium confiscate it,' but the Belgians said, 'Sign up and share the responsibility with us.' And instead... the Belgian prime minister was simply labeled a Russian asset because he himself was unwilling to steal the money without sharing the responsibility."

Instead of contributing, primarily with soldiers (no one even mentions that anymore), and weapons, a huge number of politicians want to be kind at someone else's expense. "We're good people, we really want to help Ukraine, but let Belgium sign on. Let Trump sign on, and if he doesn't, then he's Agent Krasnov, a jerk, and he wants to negotiate with Putin. Doesn't Europe's behavior seem a little strange?" Latynina asked.

Venediktov responded that European governments do not want to take money from budgets and hit their voters.

Latynina objected:

"Why then support the war and tell Zelensky: fight to the last Ukrainian, and we'll applaud."

Venediktov, irritated, snapped back that he didn’t understand what “we’ll applaud” meant.

"They're afraid of Russia; they believe Ukraine is holding Russia back, weakening Russia. As you yourself say, two fragments of the empire are rubbing against each other and erasing each other. They believe the same as you, Yulia: you're perfectly capable of leading a European country. If you were, say, the Prime Minister of Italy, you'd say exactly the same thing.

"They're weakening the threat posed by Russia by doing this. War requires money, and it was supported by the budget for a long time. The budgets are gone, and so are the weapons. Investments are needed to contain Russia. And here's 300 billion," the national traitor explained.
