OREANDA-NEWS. After leaving the European Union, the UK is using the Ukrainian crisis to take a leading position on the continent in the position of NATO's main power. This "360" said the captain of the first rank of the reserve and military expert Vasily Dandykin.

Named the true goals pursued by Germany and the UK in the situation with Ukraine
He recalled that in this way the British authorities began to act a long time ago. As examples, he cited the Defender destroyer entering Russian territorial waters near Crimea and reconnaissance aircraft flying near the country's borders.

“Now these are deliveries of portable anti-aircraft missile systems [to Ukraine], which are considered quite effective. The advisers who worked and trained the commanders of the Ukrainian nationalist battalions also testify to this, ”Dandykin said.

According to the expert, Germany, as a country experiencing a defeat complex in World War II, does not have the slightest desire to participate in resolving the crisis in Ukraine. On the contrary, it wants to maintain its status as Europe's first economy and the wealth it now enjoys. But the presence of US troops on its territory leaves no choice.

“But Germany is still trying to resist and is forced to raise its armed forces, raise the share of GDP, and this affects the state of the state, especially against the backdrop of a large flow of refugees. Therefore, here one can understand Ukraine's criticism of Germany," the expert summed up.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for a long time refused to transfer his country's weapons to the territory of Ukraine, but even after the first permission, European countries criticized Berlin. Deputy Prime Minister of Poland Yaroslav Kaczynski said that Germany needs to strengthen sanctions against Russia by imposing an embargo on oil supplies, as well as increase arms supplies to Ukraine.
