Leonid Kalashnikov to Ukrainians: “You’re Naive if You Think Warsaw and Washington Won’t Abandon You!”

Jakub Korejba, journalist, Poland: You haven’t answered my question! How will you benefit from freezing the conflict?Leonid Kalashnikov, member of State Duma: Unfortunately, the GDP of Ukraine didn’t even reach the index of 1990. It didn’t. It hadn’t managed to reach the GDP index of 1990 before the conflict broke out in 2014. And now, it dropped even lower. You helped it drop. You’re happy about that, I’m not. I’d like to assemble aircraft together or cars in Dnepropetrovsk. You don’t want that to happen.[embedded content]- That’s because Ukraine is a political backbone whose allegiance determines the balance of power in Europe and partially in the world. If you think that somebody from Washington, Brussels, or somewhere else…- Warsaw.- And Warsaw too. …will abandon Ukraine you’re extremely naive. And you don’t seem that naive..
