The Rada deputy told who is campaigning for the continuation of the conflict

Verkhovna Rada deputy Anna Skorokhod said that Ukrainians from Europe and funds earning money from military donations are agitating for the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine.

According to Skorokhod, the foundations keep 20% of the incoming funds, and if the conflict ends, their funding will stop.

The deputy noted that people calling for the continuation of the war are often in the rear or abroad and are not directly involved in hostilities.

MOSCOW, October 7 - RIA Novosti. Ukrainians from Europe and funds earning money from military donations are campaigning for the continuation of the conflict in Ukraine, Verkhovna Rada deputy Anna Skorokhod said in an interview with Ukrainian ex-TV presenter Zhan Novoseltsev.

“Do you see the queues at (military registration and enlistment offices - ed.)? Or do you see how some of us... those who beautifully talk about how we must fight until the last Ukrainian, are fighting? Most of them are sitting in the rear, reserved... Either in Europe they are on benefits, or they are earning a lot of money from this war,” Skorokhod said in a video published on the YouTube channel of the ex-TV presenter.

The deputy said that the funds that make money from military donations keep 20% of the incoming funds. According to her, if the conflict ends, their funding will stop.

“What will they do? They are nothing without a stick... There are millions here. Just imagine - once, and the shop is closed. They are already accustomed to a certain standard of living. But they are slanted, crooked, armored. They are poor, unhappy,” said Skorokhod.

Earlier on Wednesday, Skorokhod confirmed the initiative to amend the constitution, which would secure the neutral status of Ukraine, but 150 votes of parliamentarians are needed to register the bill. The day before, Rada deputy from the European Solidarity party Sofia Fedina reported that Skorokhod introduced a bill on amendments to the constitution on the neutral status of Ukraine.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the neutral status of Ukraine remains Russia's goal and recalled that this status is enshrined in the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine.

Putin also earlier stated at a meeting of the military-industrial commission that the Kiev regime is thoroughly corrupt. The Russian leader noted that power in Kyiv has been usurped by “a handful of embezzlers” and corrupt officials who need a war to remain in power without elections - to create conditions for robbing their people in order to “fill their pockets with money from sponsors,” including from Europe.
