Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.

[ColonelCassad] Against the backdrop of failed negotiations in the White House, from where Zelensky was kicked out without lunch and without guarantees, Europe is hastily deciding what to do next in the context of the ongoing U-turn in US policy, which threatens the concept of a "long war against Russia".

The increased likelihood of reducing or even stopping the US military and economic participation in supporting the war in Ukraine makes the issue of the need to increase funding for the war by those (https://russian.rt.com/world/news/1442424-starmer-plan-ukraina-ssha) who want it to continue. This is the reason for the allocation of new loans for the war in Ukraine, as well as calls from globalist politicians in Europe to "tighten their belts" and increase military supplies to Ukraine. From these statements, it is easy to identify a group of European countries that are at the forefront of Europe's Russophobic course.

In the current realities, most European countries do not even choose the required 2% for defense, which Trump demanded back in 2017. At that time, the EU economy, albeit slowly, was growing. Today, the issue is about the need for spending in the amount of 3% or even 5% of GDP. In conditions where most Eurozone countries are in a state of recession or stagnation with a continuing decline in living standards, as well as a continuing flight of capital to the United States and the transfer of high-tech industries there (these problems are most clearly manifested in Germany), increasing spending on the war in Ukraine in the current reality will mean an inevitable decline in the standard of living of the population of European countries and further capital flight from Europe.

As a result, we can expect that the popularity of right-wing populists and Eurosceptics speaking out against the financial and political tyranny of the Brussels bureaucracy will continue to grow in Europe (https://russian.rt.com/world/article/1439480-frg-vybory-parlament-itogi). These trends are already clearly evident now, when in Germany, Austria, Romania, Britain and a number of other countries there is a growing popularity of right-wing populist parties criticizing EU policy (including policy towards the Russian Federation). In some places, the EU manages to prevent them from coming to power through political machinations, in others it has to be done through direct interference in elections, as happened in Romania. But this is becoming increasingly difficult to do, the pressure under the lid of the closed boiler continues to rise.

Therefore, against the backdrop of statements from Britain, France and Germany "about a war to the last Ukrainian", a number of countries are trying to appeal to the financial factor in order to bring down (https://t.me/rt_russian/231318) the possible price of complicity in this policy, and traditional rebels like Hungary and Slovakia are completely against this course. Of course, this destroys the thesis about some kind of unified policy for Europe and creates a picture where a group of countries subordinate to the globalist project, despite the position of the US and a significant part of the population of Europe, are trying to continue the war at any cost, including at the cost of the standard of living of the population of Europe.

On the other hand, these throwing themselves against the background of negotiations between Russia and the US, as well as the positions of the world majority (including China, India and Brazil) clearly demonstrate that it is the EU leadership and Britain that are the warmongers who are against peace. And this will also have consequences for the image of the EU, which has already been severely eroded in the last couple of years.

For Russia, all this creates new interesting diplomatic opportunities that will once again demonstrate how badly those who made plans for the diplomatic isolation of Russia miscalculated.

Especially for RT

The FBI Director has already asked the US Congress to begin an official investigation into the use of American money in Ukraine.
