Piontkovsky about Putin's “friends”/Channel 24 Collage
Joe Biden, when he came to power, talked about the “transatlantic unity” of the West in general. However, some countries are calmly cooperating with the Kremlin dictator Putin, even when it comes to the security of Europe.
In particular, this thesis is relevant to Germany, France and Italy. Andrei Piontkovsky, a Russian opposition publicist from Washington, told Channel 24 about this.
According to him, in addition to this, there are Poland, Romania, and the Baltic countries that fully support Biden's position.
At the state level, “Putin-Fershteiners” were defined. These are three countries: Italy, France and Germany, accustomed to working comfortably with Putin. I think they crossed themselves out of the list of leading players in the future European security system with their activities last week,” Piontkovsky believes.
He is sure that these people cannot be relied upon. The publicist noted that this position concerns statehood, the ruling class.
“They don't want Ukraine's victory”
“The same Annalena Burbock (German Foreign Minister – Channel 24) whom we hoped a lot for, whom we sympathized with, who made a number of very strong pro-Ukrainian statements, in particular during her visit to Kyiv. I do not see any constructive resistance on her part she has a “pull-in position,” he expressed his opinion.
Reference. We are talking about Burbock's statement in Kyiv that Berlin also intends to supply Ukrainian troops with tanks and howitzers in the future. they plan to provide it in July 2022. The publicist believes that it is too late, since aid has already arrived even from Australia.Although the Bundestag Defense Committee is dissatisfied with the pace of arms supplies to Ukraine and proposes to appoint a special coordinator, said the head of the committee, Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann It was also reported that Germany will provide new budgetary support to Ukraine, in particular, about a billion euros will be allocated for our country within the framework of this program.
Therefore, he believes Says that “the leaders of Germany, France and Italy do not want Ukraine to win this war” in the definition adopted by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.
