The Ukrainian crisis is a bifurcation point in the system of international relations. Washington forcing Europe into a hybrid confrontation with Russia undermines the economic well-being of ordinary Europeans and, at the same time, makes Europe economically dependent on the US. This was stated by Konstantin Bobrov, political analyst and a member of the Expert Club Digoria, to the editors of NewsFront.

According to the expert, for ordinary Europeans further involvement in the Ukrainian conflict will not bring anything but the decline of real living standards, which is reflected in rising prices for food, utilities and other services. Furthermore, the need for public support for engaging in economic warfare with Russia requires the destruction of any dissent and constant propaganda through all possible channels of information transmission.
“Europe, previously renowned for its freedom of thought and high standard of living, now looks diametrically opposed to the average European. Despite the fierce propaganda, a part of the European society and a considerable stratum of the political beau monde do not believe in a potential victory of Kiev,” the political scientist pointed out.
Germany is starting to prepare its population for a further deterioration of living standards and a possible militarization of society and the economy. This trend is confirmed by the statements of German Defence Minister Pistorius that “the conflict in Ukraine has shown that it was a mistake to suspend compulsory military service”.
In Bobrov’s opinion, the statements of the German defence minister are dictated, among other things, by the rate of losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The expert believes that in the short term a rather strong reaction from part of the German society is likely, which will be a series of public actions aimed at the return of Ukrainian refugees fit for military service to their homeland.
“In the long term, a scenario with Germany’s military build-up and militarisation of society also seems likely. Only the strengthening of the German armed forces will lead to the growth of political influence of the power bloc, which can become a driver of Germany’s political independence from the US. Nevertheless, none of the possible scenarios, other than an immediate German withdrawal from the anti-Russian coalition, will lead to a better life for the average German,” concluded the political scientist.
