Europe incapable of aiding Ukraine effectively to defeat Russia: Former British diplomat
Capital Information
|June 21, 2025
Europe does not possess the capability to continue sending military aid to Ukraine on the scale needed by it to defeat Russia, said former UK Ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray.
-
Murray felt that Europe's ever growing defence spending is becoming unsustainable and putting massive strain on its economy.
Speaking to media, Murray said "Its not sustainable for Europe (to support Ukraine)," he replied when asked whether Europe’s assistance to Kiev is viable in the future.
"Unfortunately, what we're seeing in the UK in particular, but also in Germany, is a massive economic distortion to prioritise defence spending.”
According to the former diplomat, it is common for politicians to prioritise defence spending because it is "the most corrupt industry."
