At the same time, Soros said he felt "more than ever" that the EU's destiny hinged on Ukraine's future. European countries have lost billions of dollars due to the cessation of trade with Russia after the introduction of sanctions, which, apparently, will be extended at the request of Washington, the investor expects. If this is the future that awaits the EU, the British have even more reasons to vote for secession from the Union on June 23, the billionaire noted. Nevertheless, Axis of Logic writes that Soros did not abandon the European dream completely. He published an article in the Guardian saying that the UK’s withdrawal from the EU would devaluate the pound sterling. It is obvious that the billionaire is experiencing severe disappointments in connection with the difficult period in which he is trying to create a new order. Russia is not set up for cooperation and Europe's population supports the parties, which are skeptical about the EU, while American voters prefer Donald Trump. An associate professor of Stock Markets and Financial Engineering of RANEPA, Vasiliy Yakimkin,
speaking with a correspondent of Vestnik Kavkaza, emphasized that Soros
is not a person who is allowed to evaluate Russia, even if his words
seem positive, in fact they are not. "Soros makes such statements to warn the Western establishment that it is dangerous to let Russia go, because in that case it will rush forward with a speed of a rocket and they can't catch it. Our country is self-sufficient, and Soros is worried about it. They failed to suppress us with the sanctions: we passed the economic bottom and the growth has started. Giving a compliment, an American billionaire, in fact, urges the West to tighten the pressure on Russia, otherwise we will accelerate our development, while they will wallow in their problems and debts," Vasiliy Yakimkin concluded. The President of the National Strategy Institute, Mikhail Remizov, expressed confidence that Soros not just addresses Russia, he tends to put pressure on the EU. "I think such a statement is linked to his desire to scare the European Union and to reproach eurosceptics who are playing into the hands of Moscow, shaking the intra-European unity. It is absolutely groundless in this case to take these compliments seriously," he stressed. Source: Vestnik Kavkaza |
