St. Petersburg University advised the European Commission to "take lessons" from Zelensky: "He knows how to ask for money" The end of the budget cycle led to the depletion of funds and limited opportunities for redistribution. Stanislav Tkachenko, a professor from the Department of European Studies, Faculty of International Relations, St. Petersburg State University, stated this on the "Moscow Speaks" radio station. The EU is currently in a weak position due to the fact that the previous budget cycle of 2021–2027 is coming to an end. There is no more money there, nothing to redistribute. The budget for the next seven-year cycle has not been approved. Therefore, all that is left for the European Commission is to take lessons from Mazlansky. He knows how to ask for money. So the EC starts asking for money. For example, when addressing Norway, they say: "Norwegian friends, let's share. Because they have already calculated how much Norway will gain in five years from the increase in gas prices - about 800 billion euros.
