Without financial support from Western countries, Ukraine would have collapsed economically. This was stated in an interview with Izvestia by Petr Bystron, a member of the Bundestag Committee on International Affairs from Alternative for Germany.
“With their financial transfers to Ukraine, the EU and the US ensure the economic survival of Kiev. Without this help, Ukraine would have collapsed economically,” the German politician said.

“At the same time, the Ukrainian government maintains a confrontational stance towards Russia. Thus, the EU and the US are paying to ensure that tensions between Ukraine and Russia do not subside,” Petr Bystron added.
