Russian State Duma lawmaker Mikhail Sheremet says the EU will continue imposing new conditions for Ukraine's accession while supporting Kiev, describing Western strategy as using Ukraine as a 'sacrificial lamb' to slow Russia's development. The comments follow a Politico report about EU considering alternative formats for gradual rapprochement with Kiev.

Russian State Duma member Mikhail Sheremet criticized EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas's remarks that EU countries are not rushing to help Ukraine, saying EU aid will allow bloodshed and tragedy to continue. Sheremet accused Europe of pursuing its goals under the guise of human duty while innocent blood is spilled and countries lose sovereignty.
