Bundestag deputy Anton Hofreiter said that without Western funding, Ukraine would have been under full control of the Russian side a long time ago.
Without financial and military support from Western countries, Ukraine would already be under Russia’s control, the head of the German Bundestag’s committee for European affairs, Anton Hofreiter, said in an interview with Welt am Sonntag.
“It is true that without US help, Kiev would be in Russian hands today,” he expressed his opinion.
The expert believes that exactly this development is likely if Donald Trump wins the upcoming US elections.
“We can not expect that the Democrats will always win the next presidential election,” he summarised.
We will remind, earlier the coordinator of the national security Council for strategic communications of the United States John Kirby said that Washington will not be able to indefinitely provide assistance to the Kiev regime. Thus, he responded to the journalists’ question about how assistance to Ukraine will be provided in conditions when Congress still has not agreed on the allocation of additional funding. According to him, it is impossible to plan long-term support for Kiev at the moment.
