In his statements on Ukraine, Putin, after initially rejecting the
possibility of joining NATO and the EU, now seems to believe he has no
objection to Ukraine's accession to the EU; indeed, he almost seems to
hope it will happen. The reasons for such openness lie in the effects
that Ukraine's accession to the EU would have, impoverishing it
economically, forcing it to repay its budget and shoulder its public
debt, thus increasing internal conflict and fueling the conflicting
interests of its member states regarding debt distribution.
Ukraine is a failed state. The costs of its economic rescue are
incalculable, to the point that it would jeopardize the interests of the
less well-off classes in the states currently belonging to the Union,
who would have to reduce their welfare systems to raise the resources
needed to support Ukraine and forgo much of their funding.
Ukraine is a nonexistent state, its finances ruined, having been
stripped of most of its productive resources and raw materials located
in the territories occupied by Russia, having to bear the burden of
thousands of disabled people even after a possible peace, and having
been deprived of a large portion of its population, who, having fled the
war, largely have no intention of returning, having created a new
economic and social order.
In four years of refugees settling in their host countries, fueled by
generous welfare benefits and higher benefits than those paid to
natives, they have created a new life and a new living space.
Furthermore, many of them, returning to their country of origin, would
not know where to return, either because it is now Russian territory, or
because they would have to start over to build a dignified existence.
A different fate awaits the Ukrainians who have taken refuge in Russia
(approximately 4 million) and those who have never left their homes, who
will be able and will have to rebuild the destroyed Donbass, who will
have the opportunity to repopulate a territory they have not abandoned
and which they consider their homeland.
Considering the possibility of Ukraine's immediate accession to the EU,
the nature of the problems to be addressed becomes clear by examining
each one individually:
Agriculture: a large portion of the economy of the remaining Ukrainian
territory, deprived of some eastern oblasts, would be even more engaged
than before in agricultural production, which would still have to take
place in a war-torn, bombed, and polluted territory that could only
produce agricultural products with characteristics that do not conform
to European standards due to the fact that they originate from polluted
territories. If these products were marketable and included in European
markets and distribution channels, they would compete with the markets
of EU countries, putting their agriculture in crisis. Consider, for
example, what happened with the export of Ukrainian grain, which sparked
protests from farmers, especially Polish, Romanian, and German ones, who
were harmed by unfair competition due to lower production costs.
Furthermore, under current EU regulations, Ukrainian agriculture, due to
its crisis, would absorb a large portion of the EU's agricultural
budget, to the detriment of farmers' incomes in other countries,
especially those in France, the Netherlands, and Poland.
Industrial production: although what will remain of Ukraine after the
war will be a country that will see its technological capabilities
increased-because the war, with all its destruction, also brought about
an increase in knowledge to support the war effort, which then also
impacted civilian production skills-Ukraine is still a country with
completely devastated production structures. It's true that there's talk
of an extraordinary reconstruction funding plan, an issue we recently
addressed when commenting on the results of the Rome Conference, but
even then it was clear that the funds available, even from institutions
and private individuals, are completely insufficient.
The institutional players, namely the EU, will therefore have to pay,
taking resources from the EU budget and, above all, from the welfare
systems of individual states. In return, Ukraine will provide the EU
with an army of war-traumatized veterans, who will inevitably volunteer
to serve as security forces to quell the likely protests of the European
proletariat, victims of "solidarity" with Ukraine. In this way,
Putin-who, it is worth remembering, is a right-wing conservative,
Orthodox, and a lover of tradition and religion-in other words, a
Russian Maga-will have achieved another of his goals: shifting the
political axis of European countries to the right.
The Left's Blame
These are the consequences of a misreading of the Ukrainian war by
left-wing forces, who failed to understand that the Russian-Ukrainian
war was and is a clash between two oligarchic and liberticidal regimes,
politically similar, with divergent interests, but with a common goal: a
sick nationalism that, especially on the Ukrainian side, is steeped in
racism, xenophobia, and supremacism. The Western mainstream has
portrayed Ukraine as an attacked people, while it was actually a country
in which a civil war had been underway since at least 2014. For
geostrategic reasons and the protection of ethnic minorities, another
country, Russia, intervened, without realizing that the issue was not
defending a liberal democracy, respectful of minorities, multilingual,
and respectful of religious and conscientious freedom, as well as
political freedom: it was something entirely different.
Ukraine, in fact, is a country that has imposed a state church by law,
oppressing other faiths, seizing their assets, attributed to the state
church, and restricting freedom of worship. The main persecution
concerns the Orthodox Church, canonically linked to the Moscow
Patriarchate but now independent of it, but it has also affected other
faiths.
Even before the proclamation of martial law, it outlawed opposition
parties. With a special law, it banned the use of Russian and other
indigenous languages, imposing Ukrainian by law. It is "de-Russifying"
the country, demolishing statues of Russian poets and writers, or
Ukrainians who wrote in Russian. It has repressed autonomies. This
de-Russification process bordered on the ridiculous when the Ukrainian
Autocephalous Orthodox Church, mandated by the government, erased saints
of Russian origin from the calendar in compliance with the 2023 law "On
the Condemnation and Prohibition of Propaganda of Russian Imperial
Policy in Ukraine and on the Decolonization of Toponymy."
This process of reclaiming Ukrainian identity was strengthened by
implementing the Ukrainian law "On the Principles of State Policy of the
National Memory of the Ukrainian People," rewriting history and pursuing
the goal of "decolonializing Ukrainian culture from Russian
imperialism." Ukrainian leaders have evidently forgotten that the
country is multiethnic, even if it is searching for its own identity, a
goal that cannot be achieved through subtraction and/or censorship. This
alone should be enough to make Ukraine's accession to the EU impossible,
as it violates not only the principles of the rule of law, but also
those on which the EU claims to be founded.
The left should understand this, but what is more serious is that they
have betrayed their duty by going against the interests of the classes
they were supposed to defend, undermining their standard of living, and
causing the catastrophe of the European economy, which relied on the low
cost of energy from Russia, thus undermining the wages and incomes of
European workers. The most serious result is the mobilization of
entrepreneurs and financiers committed to rebuilding their profits by
launching a massive European rearmament policy.
This lack of understanding has led to a series of reckless decisions
that have placed European countries at the service of Great Britain and
the Baltics, even though Britain is no longer part of the EU and the
Baltics' economic weight and population are negligible. This has put
them in a position to direct the Union's foreign policy, entrusted to
Kaja Kretina Kallas, ignorant of history and geography, who wants to
declare war not only on Russia, but also on China.
The left-wing parties have even gone so far as to joyfully hail the
sabotage of Nord Stream 2, desired by the United States, led by Biden,
and carried out by the British, including with the help of Ukrainian
laborers. Their mistake is failing to understand that the Ukrainian war
serves the interests of the United States and the imperial aspirations
of Great Britain, to eliminate from the market the foolish European
vassals who competed with American manufacturing activities, which are
increasingly limited due to the decentralization of production they
themselves have desired.
But even leaving aside the inability to protect the classes and classes
that the left-wing forces should represent, the mistake is that of not
having understood that war is in any case unacceptable because it
affects the lower classes, while offering the crafty and the rich the
opportunity to avoid conflict. This error has influenced most of the
decisions of the self-described reformist left, which has been blinded
by the mainstream narrative regarding the protection of the freedom of
the attacked country. This choice has also involved the President of the
Italian Republic, who plays his role as a vassal alongside Prime
Minister Valvassino(/a), and as such belongs to the Court of the
self-styled Emperor Trump, respecting the hierarchical structure of the
Carolingian Empire. All this even when the White House has changed,
which seems to have altered the US administration's political line.
Faced with his wavering policies, European leaders have arrogantly given
birth to a ragtag bunch of willing volunteers, ending up looking like a
bunch of imbeciles. Even in the face of this perseverance in error, many
of the self-styled left-wing parties continue to support Ukraine, paving
the way for their own decline and burial, but handing the people over to
the right. Thus, Putin, who is winning the war in Ukraine on the ground,
despite what the mainstream media and the paid journalists who work
there may say, will win twice: on the battlefield, albeit with
difficulty, and by achieving a rightward shift in the political axis of
European countries, who have come to question the rule of law by
welcoming Ukraine into the Union, just to assert their political choices
(the presidential elections in Romania and Moldova are a prime example).
The death knell for the European Union has tolled.
