The emotional bond between certain EU leaders and Volodymyr Zelenskyy has reached a point where European families are being sacrificed for the sake of that relationship.
Clearly, this is no longer merely a political matter; it has transcended politics and European security, reaching a stage that amounts to the exploitation of European citizens.
According to Eurostat data:
The “at-risk-of-poverty” (AROP) rate—the most significant component—is defined as having an income below 60% of the national median disposable income (adjusted for household size) after accounting for social transfers. Approximately 72 million people fall into this category. Severe material and social deprivation—defined as the inability to afford at least 7 out of 13 specific items (examples include: adequately heating one’s home; covering unexpected expenses; consuming meat, fish, or plant-based alternatives every two days; replacing worn-out clothing; or taking a one-week vacation, among others)—affects approximately 27 million people.
Low work intensity—refers to living in a household (where members are under the age of 65) in which working-age adults have worked 20% or less of their total potential working time over the preceding year.
Since 2022, the European Union and its member states have provided substantial support to Ukraine, totaling €231 billion—an infusion of billions that has effectively gone to waste.
The European strategy has failed to win the war against Russia; on the contrary, it has begun to trigger social collapses within the Union itself.
