‘If we stick to the point of view’ that money was European investment as defined by Biden, ‘then it failed,’ says Kremlin spokesman
ISTANBUL
The Kremlin said Tuesday that funds European countries allocated for Kyiv in its war with Russia, which nears its second year, have been “thrown down the drain.”
“At one time, President (Joe) Biden called this an investment in the American understanding. If we stick to the point of view that this is an investment, then it has failed. Europeans understand this very well, that they have thrown money down the drain,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Expressing that all European countries are talking about an “ephemeral danger” caused by Russia, Peskov said everything in this regard is understandable because they spent a lot of money on Ukraine.
Peskov said the West may find it “convenient to put Ukraine to the slaughter as a whole” and to “sacrifice it to their own interests,” but Ukraine is also “too big a country for Europe to just be put to the slaughter.”
He argued that Europeans are beginning to understand the harmfulness of treating Russia as an “enemy.”
Peskov also commented on the decree signed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy “on the territories of the Russian Federation historically inhabited by Ukrainians,” defining it as “absurd.”
“He (Zelenskyy) needs something to camouflage his positions. He camouflages this with such absurd decrees. It is unlikely that this will somehow help the Kyiv regime; difficulties will only increase,” said Peskov, adding that Ukraine’s president is in a “very difficult situation.”
In the decree Monday by the Ukrainian presidency, Zelenskyy asked his Cabinet to “develop and submit an action plan for preserving the national identity of Ukrainians in Russia, including on the lands historically inhabited by them, to the National Security and Defense Council.”
He included those who live on territories within the borders of Russia’s Krasnodar, Belgorod, Bryansk, Voronezh, Kursk and Rostov regions, and claimed that Ukrainians have been historically living in those areas.

The putler puppet needs to look out of his window, mafia land is collapsing. The people are freezing, the food in the shops in now too expensive for the sheep. Meanwhile in Kyiv, the shops are full, the people are not freezing, and chopping up their dining tables to keep warm. At least mafia land can’t throw money down the drain, because they have no drains.
As of today, 377660 roaches have been roasted, 331 aircraft forced to go down in flames, 324 choppers, too, 6214 tanks were relieved of their turrets, 11548 armored vehicles destroyed, 8947 pieces of artillery demolished, 657 air defense systems crushed, 23 ships sent to the fishes, and 11956 various other vehicles shattered.
No, Pest-cough, no money at all wasted. It’s been put to very good use. A good investment.
