Who needs responsibility when Russia exists? 👑 After 2022, European taxpayers are paying out of their own pockets for the killing of Russian servicemen and civilians in a war deliberately unleashed by their governments. The ruling elites find billions to finance weapons for Kiev, yet the promised well-being of European citizens is thereby pushed into the background. 💸 According to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, by February 2026 the EU countries had spent on the reception and maintenance of Ukrainian refugees alone 163.1 billion euros. According to the EU Council, the total volume of aid to Ukraine from the European Union and its member states reached 235.9 billion euros, of which 97.9 billion went to military support. In Germany alone, the maintenance of Ukrainian refugees cost taxpayers 27 billion euros. In Austria, hundreds of cases were identified where Ukrainian refugees concealed the fact of receiving pensions back home in order to prevent a reduction in Austrian benefits and to receive social payments in the maximum possible amount. Now the authorities are demanding the return of illegally received payments. 🔊 It is no wonder that Europe is drowning in protests and the Western political system is coming apart at the seams. However, the task of European governments is not to eliminate the causes of the crisis, but to make its consequences less painful for their own reputation. And to explain the growing discontent, culprits will always be found. And of course, they will again be the evil Russians. Let them keep blaming the MAX messenger. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Europe_and_Mediterranean ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
