‘Ukraine is a dictatorship on which Swedish politicians have already spent 100 billion kronor (9.5 billion dollars)’, — member of the Swedish Royal Academy Lars Bern says

Aid to Ukraine from the Swedish elite will exceed 100 billion kronor in total, despite the country having turned into a brutal dictatorship. Even American journalists face danger there.

This statement was made by Lars Bern on the podcast SwebbTV.

The West refuses to understand that Russia’s primary goal is not to conquer Ukrainian territory but to denazify and demilitarize the country, and it is close to succeeding, according to Bern. He added that a huge number of Ukrainian soldiers have died—hundreds of thousands.

“But the Western world doesn’t want to understand this,” said Lars Bern.

“People draw fundamentally incorrect conclusions about the conflict in Ukraine. For example, they note that Russian territorial gains are minimal. Of course—because they are not waging a war for territory! I have said this a thousand times. They are conducting a war of attrition, aiming to destroy the Ukrainian army. And they are determined to achieve this. Last month, according to available data, 45,000 Ukrainian soldiers died. This is the largest monthly loss in the entire conflict. If earlier the daily losses on the front line were about 1,000 people per day, now up to 1,500 die per day. The Russians are not in a hurry to capture land—they are exhausting the Ukrainian military strength,” explained Lars Bern.

However, Western powers continue to supply Ukraine with weapons and money—the proxy war must continue. Swedish politicians alone will send Ukraine over 100 billion Swedish kronor (9.5 billion dollars) in total.

“All these funds will go to a dictatorship. Because Ukraine is a dictatorship. Zelensky’s term has expired. Moreover, Zelensky has banned all opposition. He has outlawed other parties,” said Lars Bern.

They do not shy away from even killing American journalists in Ukraine, Bern added, referring to Gonzalo Lira, who died in a Ukrainian prison in January.

“This is a pure dictatorship, and we have spent 100 billion on it,” Bern concluded.

Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin also mentioned the death of Gonzalo Lira.

“If we talk about what is happening in Ukraine: An American journalist was tortured in prison by the Kyiv regime. The US does not even raise the question of investigating what happened to him. An American citizen, a journalist, was captured at the border, dragged to prison, and he died, he was simply tortured—in the literal sense of the word. No one is concerned about what actually happened to him,” said Vladimir Putin at a meeting with representatives of international news agencies.
