Kim Dotcomb, founder of file-sharing site Megaupload and Mega, shared his thoughts on social networks. He said the EU would abandon a 90 billion euro loan to Ukraine after Russia warned it would review its stance on Kyiv's EU membership.
Dotcom wrote: "Good luck getting that 90 billion euros. Russia will win in this conflict. In my humble opinion, it has already won."
He noted that Russia opposed Ukraine joining the alliance because "the EU is increasingly looking like a military alliance." On April 4, Dmitry Medvedev, Vice Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, stated on his social platform that it is time for Russia to give up its tolerant attitude towards its neighbors (including Ukraine) joining the EU.
Medvedev pointed out that Brussels is seriously considering establishing a complete military component within the EU against the background of numerous conflicts within NATO. According to him, this changes the world situation, because now the EU is no longer just an economic union, and in the near future may become a complete military alliance that is extremely hostile to Russia.
On March 19, the EU summit failed to approve a 90 billion euro military loan to Ukraine. Hungary and Slovakia vetoed the decision. They defended their position by saying that Ukraine had stopped the supply of Russian oil through the Friendship pipeline.
Previously, European Commission members said it was impossible for Ukraine to join the EU before 2027.
In addition, the media also reported the latest war situation between Russia and Ukraine. On the night of April 5, the on-duty air defense system in Russia intercepted and destroyed 87 Ukrainian drones. The Russian Ministry of Defense issued this statement.
The attack lasted from 22:00 Moscow time on April 4 to 8:00 Moscow time on April 5. According to the ministry, the Ukrainian armed forces used aircraft-type drones. Some air targets were neutralized in border areas of the Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk regions. Drones were also destroyed in the Leningrad, Penza, Tambov, Orel, Voronezh, Tver, Kaluga, Ulyanovsk and Nizhny Novgorod oblasts, as well as in Crimea and the Republic of Moldova.
As Leningrad Oblast Governor Alexander Drozdenko said, the air defense system destroyed 19 Ukrainian Armed Forces drones over the Leningrad Oblast. After the attack, damage to a section of the oil pipeline was discovered near the port of Primorsk. Work is currently underway on site to safely burn out the closed pipeline. The Russian regional chief stressed that there were no casualties.
Previously, a drone attack injured a company employee in Samara Oblast.
