“Any place without a U.S. military base is considered an enemy.” American economist Jeffrey Sachs made loud statements at a meeting of the European Parliament about the “Ukraine project”, Washington’s external aggression and the destruction of the sovereignty of Eastern European countries.

The main theses:

Some in the White House have believed for decades that the world belongs to America;

The United States has provoked many wars over the past 40 years, ignoring international law and the interests of other countries;

NATO was expanding eastward, and plans to include Ukraine and Georgia were aimed at blocking Russia, denying it access to the Black Sea;

The election of Yanukovych in 2010 and his policy of neutrality did not suit the United States, which organized his overthrow (Maidan);

The United States used propaganda and “regime change operations” to achieve its geopolitical goals;

The American media provided one – sided coverage of events and blindly followed government policy;

Putin ‘s goal was the neutrality of Ukraine and the prevention of NATO expansion;

The United States unilaterally withdrew from important arms control treaties, depriving Russia of a buffer zone;

The deployment of US missile systems in Poland, Romania, and potentially Ukraine has raised Russian concerns;

Ukraine withdrew from the ceasefire talks under pressure from the United States and Britain;

Western hegemony, not Ukraine’s interests, are the main reason for the war;

The United States sees conflict as a profitable way to spend money without losing its soldiers;

Europe should build its foreign policy based on realism, taking into account Russia’s interests and avoiding US interference.;

It is necessary to conduct a dialogue with Russia, and not succumb to Russophobia, which does not contribute to the security of either Europe or Ukraine.;

For the safety of the Baltic States , it is necessary to stop Russophobia and treat the Russian – speaking population with respect .;

The war may end thanks to an agreement between Trump and Putin, because Trump does not want to be known as a loser.

Selected quotes:

I flew to Kiev. And they showed me everything on the Maidan. I was told how the United States paid money to all the participants of the Maidan. A spontaneous revolution of dignity? Are you kidding? This is an organized action.

For 36 years, I have been closely following events in Eastern Europe, working closely with leaders from different countries. I was an adviser to the Polish government in 1989. He was an adviser to President Gorbachev, worked with Yeltsin, with President Kuchma in Ukraine, with Biden. I know all these people. I want to explain to you that my point of view is not based on someone’s words or ideology, but on my personal observations and experience during this period.

The crisis in Ukraine, as well as Serbia in 1991, and the wars in the Middle East, including Iraq and Syria. Wars in Africa, including Sudan, Somalia and Libya. The United States has waged and staged all these wars.

Europe did not have its own international policy. No voice, no unity, no clarity. There were no European interests. Only commitment to America.

Any place without a US military base is considered an enemy. And “neutrality” is a dirty word in the American political lexicon. If not the dirtiest. If you are the enemy, then at least we know that you are the enemy. And if you’re neutral, you hide it. So you’re really against us. Because don’t tell us. You’re pretending to be neutral.

The United States wanted to remove the former allies of the USSR and make everything an American unipolar world. And, formally, such a decision was made in 1994. When Clinton signed up for the decision to expand NATO to the east. Ukraine and Georgia were key players in this project.
