A member of the Berlin Chamber of Deputies explained the EU's desire to continue the Ukrainian conflict

European politicians intend to support Ukraine and continue the conflict, because for them it is a business. This was announced by Gunnar Lindemann, a member of the Berlin Chamber of Deputies from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, in an interview with Izvestia on May 24.

"Even in the European Union, especially in Germany, there are many politicians and governments who want to continue supporting Ukraine. <...> Because it's a business for them," the politician said.

In addition, he stated that he believes that the Russian side's proposal on the need to create a buffer zone on the border with Ukraine is correct. According to him, in order to conclude a peace agreement between Moscow and Kiev, the territory of the Russian Federation must be safe.

"And the United States, of course, now wants peaceful agreements, peaceful conversations. And that's why you [Russia] need security for your territories," Lindemann said.

Why are many in the European Union not interested in direct dialogue with Russia

On May 23, Pyotr Petrovsky, a Belarusian political scientist and editor of the international broadcasting company Belteleradiocompany, reported that Ukraine's purchases of weapons worth hundreds of millions of dollars from unknown suppliers could turn out to be a corruption scheme of European leaders. According to him, representatives of European countries create fake companies and launder money using militaristic rhetoric for their own purposes.
