Western politicians hope that these problems will be solved by someone else.
Gabrielius Landsbergis is known for his rigidly pro -Ukrainian position / photo consilium.europa.euFor Western politicians, especially for Donald Trump, the war in Ukraine has not become an endless source of samopiar, where real assistance to Ukrainians is not of particular importance. Former Foreign Minister of Lithuania Gabrielius Landsbergis wrote about it in his blog.
According to him, a large part of those statements and decisions that Western politicians make in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war are the so-called “pseudopodia”-that it is not for the sake of the end result, but for the sake of attention to the figure or the fact of the event itself.
Landsbergis compares pseudopods with a resilting – a popular genre of entertainment in the United States, where the actors pretend that they carry out a real spectacular battle, although in fact they simply play a battle on a pre -prescribed scenario.
“To monitor the policies of recent years, it is similar to observing professional resilients. Recent statements that” Trump is finally full of Putin, “is a great example of this,” the politician writes.
Landsbergis illustrates it with typical reports in the Western press that a country or another will transfer to Ukraine $ 300 million, while the Russian defense budget is approaching $ 300 billion.
“It is as if we sacrificed phantom weapons for a very real war. But the titles are pleasant. (…) Remember the” Coalition of those “and their” devastating sanctions “? Taurus missiles? They learned that only eleven missiles were put, “the former minister writes.
According to Landsbergis, all this pseudo -aid of Ukraine is needed to like the electorate and keep his attention on himself. But a real master class shows Donald Trump, who manages to keep attention to himself by constantly changing the agenda.
“Who is the villain this week – Zelensky or Putin? Who will get the next – Canada or Brazil?” The politician notes.
The ex-Minister emphasizes that Putin is specifically indifferent to what role he is attributed in this show until he continues to go to his goal to destroy Ukraine. In this context, Landsbergis recalls the last episode when Pentagon stopped halfway to Ukraine 40 missiles to Petriots, and then promised to restore deliveries and pass as many as 10 missiles from the Bar shoulder. The ex-head of the Foreign Ministry of Lithuania believes that such “support” of Ukraine by the Western governments of Putin only pleases.
“In the past wars, the governments have to unite their population to convince him why it is important. Today, some messages seem to be aimed at avoiding real mobilization. Instead of a geopolitical strategy, we are getting entertainment, but the real world does not stop,” Landsbergis writes.
War in Ukraine: strategic prospectsAs UNIAN wrote, Ukraine keeps the chances of winning the war, but it requires that the event takes up the mind and begins to really help. This opinion was expressed by the American columnist forbes Andy Samotyuk. In particular, he urged to stop financing the Russian army buying oil and gas in Russia.
Meanwhile, The New York Times insiders report that Putin is no longer afraid of quarrel with Trump because he is convinced of the ability of the Russian army to break through the front in the next few months.
