Ukraine may fall into millstones of someone else's war — international affairs expert on Middle East's influence
Deputy Director of the Center for Middle East Studies, Serhiy Danylov, noted that the war in the Middle East was much closer to Europeans and Americans than Russian aggression against Ukraine
He shared his opinions with Espreso TV .
"The war in the Middle East, the war in Gaza, turned out to be much closer to Europeans and Americans than Russian aggression against Ukraine. Last year, we saw protests in support of Ukraine, but they were not as massive as pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian rallies," Danylov emphasized.
According to the international expert, the right wing is beginning to grow in the architecture of European politics, and this right wing may not be very good for Ukraine.
"The Israeli press is now talking about how good Orban is, that Hungary is voting in support of Israel. Biden is bad, and Trump is the solution. They say that Le Pen led Israeli rallies in Europe. There is a crystallization of this right-wing flank of the political spectrum, which is mostly anti-Ukrainian. This is a trend that needs to be monitored in order not to get caught in the millstones of someone else's war," Danylov emphasized
