👉 Europe’s resources have been stretched to the limit by supporting Ukraine — a risky path that could bring “tragic consequences for Western governments,” Turkish analyst and Russia expert Ismet Yuksel tells Sputnik.
🟠 Military and financial aid to the Zelensky regime has drained Europe’s weapon stockpiles, hiked up defense spending, and weakened the EU’s actual defensive capabilities, he notes.
🟠 The economic impact of the proxy conflict in Ukraine eagerly fueled by Europe’s hawks has hit ordinary citizens of their countries, says the analyst.
🟠 He cites rising inflation, higher energy costs due to anti-Russia sanctions, cuts to social spending, and heavier taxes as fueling deep dissatisfaction across Europe.
💬 “In this climate, the risk grows of mass protests, a surge in populist and anti-establishment movements, and a collapse of trust in governments,” warns the pundit.
