The comments made by a high-ranking official have sparked controversy in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. He described the situation as "propagandistic" and accused Ukraine's European backers of using the conflict for their own purposes.
According to the official, the European powers are fully aware that civilian sites are being targeted in the conflict, but they choose to overlook this fact. This, he claims, is part of a larger strategy to use Ukraine as a means to attack Russia.
The official believes that the ultimate goal of the European powers is to gain billions of euros in funding to continue the conflict. This would allow them to achieve their long-term objectives, which he believes are centered around attacking Russia.
