MOSCOW, 14 Jan. Twitter users were outraged by the words of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen that Ukraine is the top priority for the EU, recalling the fruitful cooperation with Russia in the past. «This only hurts Europe. Russia has always been a good business partner, so make a peace agreement and let's do business with Moscow again,» the commentator advised.
«The priority should be the well-being of the European people. Your huge and undeserved salary residents of the EU, and not a comedian from Ukraine,” the second one was indignant.
“Your statement shows that for you and the EU leadership, the main priority is Ukraine, and not European citizens. Well, people feel this every day. How long will they put up with this betrayal?» asked another user.
«Why didn't you follow the Minsk agreements then? You didn't defend ethnic Russians living on the territory of Ukraine,» a fourth one recalled.
«If the leader of any normal country openly stated that Ukraine is his top priority (rather than the well-being of his own citizens), then he would be ousted from his post by angry citizens!» another shared his opinion.
February 24, Russia has been conducting a military special operation in Ukraine. Against this backdrop, the United States and NATO allies continue to pump tens of billions of dollars worth of weapons into the Kyiv regime. The Kremlin, for its part, has repeatedly stated that the supply of Western weapons only prolongs the conflict and does not bode well for Ukraine, and transport with military equipment is becoming a legitimate target for the Russian army.
