Servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who surrendered in Mariupol. File photoUN, Apr 20The West needs Ukrainians today as «cannon fodder» in its proxy war with Russia, First Deputy Representative of the Russian Federation Dmitry Polyansky said at a meeting of the UN Security Council. Today you need them only as «cannon fodder» in your proxy war with Russia «to the last Ukrainian,» Polyansky said. At the same time, according to him, the West does not forget about its own benefit. countries are quite rubbing their hands, counting their own profits from an increase in defense orders. Already after the first week of hostilities in Ukraine, the value of the shares of the leading British arms manufacturer — BAE Systems — increased by 24%, and the shares of Thales, which produces anti-tank and anti-aircraft systems — by 42%. We observe a similar trend in the case of the American military-industrial complex,» the diplomat noted.Slutsky declared the importance of the «anti-Russia» project for the West. As the first deputy representative pointed out, «Eastern European members of NATO, who have long been thinking about how to get rid of obsolete Soviet weapons, are also clearly satisfied.» «Now, under the promise of deliveries of new NATO equipment, they are they are happy to ship what often doesn’t really go and doesn’t shoot to Ukraine, knowing that the Russian army will grind all this junk and won’t have to think about its disposal,” he said. As Polyansky said, the United States is also trying to extract for pushing the Europeans towards more and more severe economic sanctions, Washington, which suffers the least from such a scenario, intends to firmly put them on its gas “needle” over time. So what if American LNG is many times more expensive But these are «molecules of freedom», in the words of one of the American ministers, for which not the Americans, but the Europeans will pay,» he stressed.
