"On Point"
MINSK, 18 February (BelTA) – In a recent episode of the V Teme [On Point] project on BelTA’s YouTube Channel, Andrei Vajra, editor-in-chief of the Alternativa information and analysis website, shared his opinion on how Ukraine will pay off its multi-billion dollar debts to the West after the military conflict ends.
“No Ukraine, no debts. If Ukraine disappears, then the debtor will die,” Andrei Vajra said meaning that if hostilities continue further, Ukraine may cease to exist as an independent state.
He also drew attention to Ukraine's rare earth metals, which Kiev promised to Washington and London. The expert emphasized that decisions made by Vladimir Zelensky during the period after the end of his presidential term have no legal force. “Who is Zelensky? I too, sitting in an armchair, could promise the Americans the moon with all its craters. But my words are worthless. What Zelensky is giving to the Americans is roughly equivalent to me giving them the moon,” Andrei Vajra said confidently.
The expert used another example to explain why an agreement between Kiev and Washington or London is meaningless. "Imagine a train going downhill, off the tracks. The brakes no longer work, there's not long to go, and there's an abyss ahead. At that moment, you run up to the driver and start negotiating some terms with him. But what can you negotiate with him about? The Americans, to a certain extent, are behaving strangely,” Andrei Vajra believes.
