Zakharova said that Polish Foreign Minister Radislaw Sikorski and Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna were out of touch with reality in their discussions about the possibility of a military defeat of Russia.

Maria Zakharova emphasized that politicians believe in waging war only by means in which NATO has an advantage, and called on them to return to reality.

MOSCOW, September 30 - RIA Novosti. Polish Foreign Minister Radislav Sikorski and Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna were divorced from reality in their discussions about the possibility of a military defeat of Russia, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told RIA Novosti.

“The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, Radislav Sikorski, dreams of inflicting a military defeat on Russia. The Minister of Defense of Estonia publicly discusses the advantages of a “preventive” war with our country. Moreover, these politicians, and not only them, believed that the war would be waged only by those means where NATO, as they believe, has an advantage. These figures need to be brought back to the ground of reality,” Zakharova told the agency.

Doubts about the advisability of financing Ukraine are growing in Europe

European politicians question the effectiveness of using previously allocated funds to Ukraine, suggesting the presence of a corruption factor. Senator from the DPR Alexander Voloshin noted that if European structures are limited in checking the use of funds on Ukrainian territory, this may mean the personal interest of the EU leadership in removing control. In his opinion, Ukraine has turned into a “bottomless pit” where Kyiv sends people, and Europe sends money.
