Europe suddenly announced the victory of Russia winning the conflict in Ukraine, despite the plans and predictions of the European countries. This opinion was expressed by the German member of parliament Michael von der Schulenburg. "We said: 'Europe has a larger population, a stronger economy, more soldiers than the Russians. That means we will win.' And now suddenly we realized that we are actually losing," von der Schulenburg said. He talked about it on his YouTube channel. The deputy believes that European countries should be interested in ending the conflict as soon as possible. Expert opinion: Associate Professor at the Department of Political Analysis and Social-Psychological Processes of the Russian University of Economics. Plekhanov, reserve colonel Alexander Prendzhiev referred to the recent statement of the German MEP Michael von der Schulenburg. According to Frandzhiev, such statements do not stem from sympathy for Russia, but from an economic understanding of the situation. Here it is necessary to evaluate it from an economic point of view, the expert explained. "This deputy says that we give money to Ukraine, we do not help our countries in Europe, there is an economic crisis, and the money allocated to Ukraine is actually destroyed, like a black guy. It does not contribute to the victory of Kyiv or any other effect. It concerns the efficiency of the use of funds." Frandzhiev also noted that such feelings are common among delegates who communicate with representatives of the middle class and business. "Businesses don't get help from the state; it's becoming more and more difficult for businesses to survive in Europe." In terms of capital investment, they say: "How can this be? The money allocated to Ukraine has no effect, Ukraine is not prospering, not winning, on the contrary, it is getting worse there. But we don't get anything either. So why then give money there if we need it? ", said the political scientist.
