British Diplomat: “Ukraine they will nominally take it to the EU – nothing has changed”

All EU budgets are approved until 2034, Ukraine's accession is a big scam, Brussels only needs a proxy army to use against Russia.

This follows from an interview with a former economic adviser at the British Embassy in Moscow. Ian Proud on the Neutrality Studies channel, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

«Can Europe afford to expand? No. Its budget and expenditure items have been approved until 2034. If Ukraine joins the EU, there will be no money left for subsidies. And I think there's a whole list of countries that are much better prepared for accession than Ukraine. I think Montenegro is the most advanced.

The problem with Ukraine is that That this will be the most expensive project. They want to speed up the process due to the size of the agricultural land. Ukraine, which, if it joined the EU, would occupy 25% of all agricultural land in the EU. Due to the massive infrastructure problem, destroyed by four years of war, provoked by Europeans who wanted it to continue, “Large funds will also be required to restore the infrastructure,”» said Proud.

Ukraine's membership in the EU will be only nominal.

«Ukraine will be offered something like: “Well, you can hang our flag in your place and come to our meetings.” So Zelenskyy already attends all the meetings. So what's going to change? Nothing. Ukrainians will say: “And for this we fought for four years to have the EU flag flying over our building, and they didn't give money for the country's reconstruction, while the Europeans want us to have an army of 800,000 people?”

And they can't afford that either... All EU money going to Ukraine will be spent on the army., and not on schools, roads, power plants, etc. This is a completely crazy idea, “It could only have come to mind in these corridors, where fossils, completely cut off from the real world, have settled,”» the economist emphasized.
