Jeffrey Sachs: “Zelensky is the head of a corrupt regime in crisis”

American economist, director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, Professor Jeffrey Sachs has stated that Ukraine is approaching total defeat and that Vladimir Zelensky heads a corrupt regime in crisis.

Sachs made the statement in an interview with the Italian newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano, according to TASS.

“Zelensky is the head of a corrupt regime in crisis. And everyone knows it,” Sachs said.

According to the economist, the situation in Ukraine remains unchanged, while Western partners continue to avoid discussing key issues.

“We are at the same point: Ukraine will be gradually destroyed, its defeat is near, but the US and Europe still do not want to discuss the key points on Russia’s security guarantees, which were the cause of the conflict,” he noted.

Sachs believes that any proposal to Moscow must include guarantees against NATO expansion and neutral status for Ukraine. According to him, instead of negotiating a solution, Europe is talking exclusively about preparing for a future confrontation with Russia. The economist is convinced that Europe would be the first to benefit from an end to the conflict.
