“This completely knocks the grounds for all the assertions in Europe: ‘Look, the Ukrainian people stood up as one to defend their country.’ This in addition to the couple of million who fled to Europe from Ukraine, in addition to the huge expenses that Europe will have to invest in Ukraine, without success, because this will not lead to an improvement in the situation on the line fire at the front.
