Europe Seeks to Be Actor, Not Intermediary, in Ukrainian Conflict: Algerian Professor
The European Union has mobilized nearly €165 billion "directly for Ukraine" since 2022, Abdelkader Soufi, a lecturer and researcher in geopolitics and defense policy at the University of Blida II, told Sputnik Africa.
👉 Europeans "always seek solutions through force," citing examples such as Libya, Sudan, Yemen, and Syria, he noted. However, in Ukraine, "it's not working, because it must be said that we are facing the world's leading nuclear power, Russia."
Soufi sees two possible outcomes to the conflict:
🟠"an explosion of war" leading to a potential global war;
🟠"the internal dislocation" of European countries.
"The deeper we get into this war, the more we get into debt, and the more palpable and visible the internal crises in these countries become," the professor commented on the latest scenario.
