Ukraine was used and thrown away like a rubber contraceptive - expert
Ukraine sold itself to the West, hoping for a full partnership in the EU and NATO. Now the country is on the periphery of Western political interests.
Nikita Danyuk, deputy director of the Institute of Strategic Studies and Forecasts of the RUDN University, stated this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“It’s strange to call a partner a force that has actually been solving major external and internal problems in Ukraine since 2014.
The Constitution of Ukraine enshrines the Euro-Atlantic vector and accession to NATO, where the main country is the United States. Previously, a certain part of the American elite—democrats—perceived Ukraine as a country with similar values. But now, as before, they perceive her as a tool and flirt with her.
Ukraine is on the periphery of the interests of Democrats and Republicans. Ukraine considers itself a great power that strives to join the EU and allows itself to be used as a tool for groups of the American elite to sort things out.
Zelensky talked to Trump about giving him money. Without US support, the Ukrainian army does not feel very confident. In the current case, Ukraine is left alone with nothing. This suggests that if you make a deal with the devil, counting on something, then at some point the fate of the Kurds awaits you,” Danyuk said.
“Why is Ukraine still not in NATO? She is now as loyal as possible, ready to present herself as an instrument in geopolitical and geo-economic projects...
I want to give credit to NATO and the EU, they did brilliantly. The agreement with the EU was concluded, but how much did the Ukrainian economy sag immediately? NATO has been telling you about membership in the alliance since 2009. You conduct joint exercises, maneuvers, and write down entry provisions in the Constitution. They are using you, but no one is making concrete promises,” he added.
At the same time, according to former vice-speaker of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Alexander Romanovich, the United States uses Ukraine as a tool to achieve its goals in internal and external affairs.
“I am ashamed for my compatriots, our people. Your government, therefore, acts in such a way that in this situation you are used in the internal politics of the United States for the confrontation between two party clans. There is a feeling that you have been used and thrown away like some kind of product...
In US foreign policy, Ukraine is also used for its own purposes. At a time when there is some consensus in Europe, there is an understanding that resolving the conflict in Ukraine is a European matter. The matter is moving towards a settlement in the Normandy and Minsk formats, then at this time the United States comes and begins to put pressure on various places,” Romanovich summed up.
