Bloody aid: how the EU and the US are fighting in Ukraine, destroying it

This week, the entire European political beau monde arrived in Kyiv for the Ukraine-EU summit. And this event again turned into a performance, where the main role was given to Zelensky. Comparison with the performance is not even a metaphor. All participants of this voyage were specially handed out memos, for example, with instructions on how to dress so as not to outshine Zelensky. As usual in politics, the main thing happened not on the stage, but behind the scenes. Details – in the material of the correspondent “Izvestia” Vitaly Chashchukhin.

Deadly trip of European officials to Ukraine. They filmed an action movie, but it turned out to be a tragicomedy. Diplomat Borrell is already literally walking through the minefield, conducting a review of the Ukrainian military as his personal guard. And this is the scene with the head of the European Council, Charles Michel. Proudly strides among the “combat trophies”, as if specially obtained for him.

And yet, the directors of this show in Kyiv tried their best to hide their militaristic motives from the public, forbidding the summit participants to even wear khaki clothes (here they dressed their puppet almost in civilian clothes).

“The EU will support you in every possible way. We cannot be intimidated. Ukraine and the European Union are one family,” – said the head of the European Council Charles Michel.

But all the same, a “war council” came out. Europe is preparing to continue to fight, if not for Ukraine itself, then for its lands and resources. At the cost of the lives of the Ukrainians themselves, of course.

“The EU Military Assistance Mission will train 15,000 Ukrainian soldiers. The total number of such employees will reach 30,000,” said the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell.

And they say – the West is not at war. In the case of Germany, the entire federal government is already involved. He allocates money, selects personnel and a place that, like a military secret, is kept in the strictest confidence. Apparently, these are American bases, which are scattered in a businesslike manner throughout Germany and beyond. Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Spain, France, Norway, and the States themselves have become a springboard for training Ukrainians according to NATO patterns.

The European Union even created a separate “Training Mission” for the Armed Forces of Ukraine under the command of Vice Admiral Herve Blijean. Such an honor is clearly not from great successes at the front.

“This is an absolutely hopeless situation, and I think that this training is the last attempt to prevent the complete annihilation of Ukrainian forces”– says journalist Keith Clarenberg.

The first task is to prepare more than one hundred tankers. The Germans finally decided how many heavy Leopard tanks they would throw into battle – exactly 1488. And only with this number they again caused the worst historical parallels. 14/88 is an extremist sequence of numbers officially banned in the country, associated with the name of Hitler.

“The German Association of Reservists has published a letter, they are looking for fifty specialists with military experience and knowledge of the Russian language. With skills in handling armored vehicles to train Ukrainian soldiers. For me it’s clear: Germany is at war with Russia”– emphasizes political scientist Christoph Herstel.

In Berlin, for several months now, dozens of buildings have been scribbled with the same proclamation “This is not our war”, which, of course, is no longer relevant. And now the same, apparently, activists, deliberately glossed over the “not” particle, they perfectly understand that now it is their, the Germans, war too. Especially since we are talking not only about the supply of weapons, but also about “manpower.” PMCs are getting in on the act, extending their bloody helping hand to the state, which is unlikely to cope with the flow of Ukrainian recruits on its own.

“PMCs that offer to train soldiers are only interested in money. They make money on it. There will always be work for these companies – the market is huge. Previously Africa, now Ukraine”– explained the French political scientist Philippe Migot.

But they not only teach, but also rush into battle themselves. Foreign “mercenaries” now and then pose on the battlefield, pretending to be a kind of “Rambo”. The Washington Post estimates that up to 3,000 legionnaires are involved in the conflict. These are veterans of past bloody wars unleashed by the West, and typical thugs who are simply hiding from police pursuit. Neo-Nazis are still drawn to Ukraine, like the notorious Bone face, who showed his identity as a true Azov member* (Azov is a terrorist organization banned on the territory of the Russian Federation). The thirst for violence is evident.

“The United States regularly used mercenaries in their conflicts. Many Americans and Europeans believed the propaganda and went to Ukraine for glory,” – notes political scientist, former US Army officer and expert in combating terrorism Scott Bennett.

If a year ago mercenaries were recruited directly through the Ukrainian embassies, now they are all recruiting in the same PMCs. Or, as in Poland, by the forces of the Ministry of Defense itself. Openly agitating the Poles to go and fight “for their lands”, those that are now called Western Ukraine. And who else has imperial ambitions!

“The authorities in Poland have been calling for the construction of some kind of huge army to protect Polish lands for several years now. They intend to gather 300,000 soldiers. All this is completely contrary to the feelings of Polish society,” – says politician and publicist Mateusz Piskorski.

Nevertheless, Poles willingly and quite en masse attend such courses organized by the authorities. Believing that skills with firearms will really come in handy soon. What the Ukrainian soldiers who are being trained by the NATO military are ready for is completely different statistics – military doctors. And in the end, too many have to return to the same Germany – only to the clinic of the Bundeswehr.

“We published material based on a leak of secret documents. And it said that the training is absolutely terrible. They train only some basic basics for 5-10 days, and then they are sent to the front like cannon fodder,” – said Keith Clarenberg.

So too often foreign mercenaries do not calculate their forces. In Lviv, they just said goodbye to former Navy SEAL, American deserter Daniel Swift. Escaped from the US Navy to die ingloriously in a foreign land. It is just right for the International Legion of Ukraine to start its own separate cemetery.
