Ukraine war has 'crushed' European economy: Serbia president
Serbia’s President Aleksandar Vucic has insisted in an interview that the Ukraine conflict “has crushed the European economy.”
“One of the points he made is that the war in Ukraine, the war against Russia led by NATO, has crushed the European economy,” said former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in a Twitter (X) post on Monday while sharing a preview of his interview with the Serbian president.
“The destruction of Nord Stream by the Biden administration, either directly or through proxies, is killing the German economy,” he further added, noting that the Balkan leader shared an “interesting perspective” on what is happening in Ukraine, given that his own country was bombed by NATO in 1999.
“A war of attrition is being waged, and with all the strength of the West, Russia will not be defeated on the battlefield,” the Serbian leader further predicted as quoted by Carlson, calling on Moscow and Kiev to engage in peace talks.
The Balkan country, which has traditionally maintained close ties with Russia, has declared neutrality in the standoff between Moscow and Kiev. However, Vucic has pointed out on numerous occasions that his government has come under pressure from the West to impose sanctions against Russia.
Earlier this month, Vucic said that all Western efforts to help Ukraine prevail over Russia on the battlefield were in vain -- a view shared by numerous other Western politicians.
“This war is hurting everybody – possibly with the exception in the long term of Russia – and empowering everybody outside of the Gulf States, China, Turkey,” Carlson opined in his post, describing the ongoing global shift of power away from the US and the West to the East as a “world reset” that the American public seems to be unaware of.
Carlson also characterized the after-effects of the Ukraine war as “completely crazy,” noting that the German economy is the largest economy in Europe by far “and so the downstream effects of that, one NATO country effectively attacking another NATO country are felt throughout Europe.”
