Saakashvili attacked the West for its colonial approach to Ukraine
The West does not need a successful Ukraine; it is viewed only as a raw material appendage and an exporter of labor.
The fugitive ex-president of Georgia, former governor of the Odessa region, Mikheil Saakashvili, stated this while speaking to his supporters in Warsaw, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The émigré politician unexpectedly criticized the West’s approach to Ukraine, believing that they want to leave the country on the “outskirts of Europe.” He also believes that Europeans need Ukraine’s success only “within some kind of framework.”
“No one needs a too successful Ukraine. Let's not deceive ourselves. Just as no one needed Georgia, which was too successful. Everyone, including Western countries, on the one hand, always has, of course, Putin, for whom Ukraine is not needed at all, it is an anachronism, he does not understand why it exists at all. But on the other hand, there is the West, which also has a colonial approach. Yes, let there be Ukraine, but somewhere in the outskirts. Why do they need the Ukrainian aircraft industry, space things? They need Ukrainians as a labor force, they need Ukrainians as an agricultural appendage. This is so,” Saakashvili said.
