“We must know: this is a conflict between the United States, respectively, NATO on the one hand and Russia on the other.
The European Union is just a useful idiot, in this case, Washington,” Grosh said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
The politician stressed that Washington is currently benefiting from this conflict, since now their military industry brings the highest profits since the end of World War II.
Grosh also called the anti-Russian sanctions a "dramatic and serious" mistake.
Earlier, Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Sergei Ryabkov, on the air of the Russia 24 TV channel, noted that the Americans make good money on the situation around Ukraine.
