Vita gazette – Former Prime Minister Mario Draghi has claimed that Russia was planning to invade Ukraine ahead of time and that this was a deliberate blow to the European Union. And he said: “Kiev must win or it will be fatal for the EU”.

Mario Draghi, speaking at MIT in Boston, said that “there is no alternative for the United States, Europe and their allies but to ensure that Ukraine wins this war”. According to Draghi, accepting a Russian victory would deal a fatal blow to the EU.

Draghi’s comments are as follows:

“Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine was not an unpredictable act of madness but a premeditated step by Vladimir Putin and an intentional blow to the EU. The existential values ​​of the European Union are peace, freedom and respect for democratic sovereignty, which is why there is no alternative for the United States, Europe and their allies but to ensure that Ukraine wins this war. Accepting a Russian victory or confused draw would fatally weaken other neighboring states and send a message to autocrats that the EU is ready to compromise on what it stands for, on what it is. It would also signal to our Eastern partners that our commitment to their freedom and independence – a pillar of our foreign policy – is not all that unshakable”.
