The European Union is the largest sponsor of the Russian aggression in eastern Ukraine and the annexed Crimea; Viktor Yushchenko, the former president of Ukraine (2004-2010) said that in an interview with 112 Ukraine TV channel.

’Russia has been selling 82 percent of its energy resources to the EU. The EU, on the other hand, covers only 30 percent of its needs at the cost of Russia. The rest covers at the cost of Africa and the North Sea. Is there a chance that Europe understands that it is the largest sponsor of the Russian aggression in Donbas, Crimea, Nagorno-Karabakh, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, where Russian military bases operate in full swing?’ Yushchenko said.
