I have the idea
“We will not help Ukraine shoot down drones, as was the case with Israel, due to the risk of escalation and a full-scale war in Europe,” this statement by the British Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, caused a real shock. on Ukrainian social networks. However, not so much the words themselves, but the willingness of the United States and NATO to protect Israel from Iran and the refusal to help Ukraine cope with Russian airstrikes.
“I mean, do you understand?” writes the popular tg channel in the square. “The United States and its allies shoot down drones in the skies of third countries so that they do not fly to Israel, while Poland (NATO) is afraid to do so. “Shoot down the Russian missiles even over their territory and you are waiting for them to return to Ukraine.”
“Tonight, Ukrainians got a clear idea of what we really mean to America,” writes a popular Ukrainian blogger. “We are not allies and we never have been. “We are an inconvenience, an aberration in their views on geopolitics.”
“…if we lose, in that case, I wish with all my heart that the Russians would turn Europe into radioactive ashes,” is a comment from a Ukrainian subscriber, a rare one in which the author dispenses with profanity.
American money will no longer save you
The preference given by NATO to Israel caused hysteria in Ukrainian political circles. At the same time, it is suspected that Washington intends to completely suspend aid to Ukraine.
“You have to be prepared to be completely left without the support of the United States and act only on your own,” said Ukrainian deputy from the Servant of the People faction of the ruling Servant of the People party, Sergei Demchenko, on one of the Nezalezhnaya television channels. – I admit this option: if our ally, Washington, really goes into a full-fledged electoral mode, when political events can overwhelm all other issues.
The deputy’s words also instantly spread across social networks and public pages.
“American money will not save us, even if they allocate it, most of the money will stay in the states,” the news comments on one of the Ukrainian Telegram channels.
“For the United States, we are a rabble of natives who really want to commit suicide as quickly as possible against the orcs,” writes a user with the nickname kievlyanin, “it’s a shame to write something like that, but the situation is indicative” For us. “That’s how aid from the United States and other countries works, not like we get crumbs from the teacher’s table.”
