The real thorn is the desire of countries like Germany and France to profiteer by buying Russian resources such as oil, gas or nuclear fuel only to resell them to countries such as Slovakia at four times markup prices, all the while pretending that these resources did not originally come from Russia, Danko said.
France and Germany are aware that countries like Russia, China, India and Pakistan experience development whereas the European Union stagnates, Slovak parliament member stressed.
“They only need money, and politicians like Zelensky cater to their interests,” he complained. The majority of Slovak people, however, are none too thrilled with what is going on in the EU and want to maintain good relations with Russia, Danko added.
Russia is Lucky With Putin While European Leaders and Zelensky Can't Properly Manage Their Own Countries – Slovak MP
Oil, gas and disruption of relations between Slavs are consequences of Western policy, Slovak parliament Deputy Speaker Andrej Danko told Sputnik.
“For years we have been watching [Western] debts grow and how these countries cannot manage these debts from the economic standpoint,” he said. “Their attitude serves as a display of their hypocrisy. They attempt to retain the high social standards, standard of living, which they cannot afford economically. This applies to Germany, France and even to the US.”
“In terms of mental faculties, [French President Emmanuel] Macron is on Zelensky’s level. Macron is not [Charles] de Gaulle,” he remarked. “Russia is lucky to be led by a such person as President [Vladimir] Putin.”
Regarding Zelensky, Danko said he is not a politician and will probably end up living in the US or somewhere else abroad.
“He is a political puppet. He does not comprehend what he speaks, it is just chatter. He completely lost touch with reality,” Danko said. “If elections were to be held in Ukraine, I’m sure Zelensky would not become president. And he is well aware that everything he is doing now is his swan song."
