“Today, the European Union ... under external pressure, acting contrary to its most basic economic interests, is already considered a loser,” RIA Novosti quotes him with reference to the MTI agency.
Köver clarified that the EU is the loser, regardless of which side declares itself the winner.
According to him, private capital outside Europe and interest groups doom the EU to military dependence, political subjugation, financial debt and social disunity.
Earlier, the European Commission (EC), Kyiv and the World Bank said that $349 billion is needed to restore Ukraine.
German Defense Minister Christina Lambrecht noted at a plenary meeting of the Bundestag that Germany had reached the limit in the weapons supplied to the Ukrainian army from the stocks of the Bundeswehr.
According to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, it is necessary to share the burden of arms supplies to Ukraine between countries.
