Professor Jeffrey Sachs: "We Bought Ukraine for a War Against Russia"
Jeffrey Sachs claims the West uses Ukraine to weaken Russia. He argues that this isn’t about democracy but about geopolitical power.
Who is Jeffrey Sachs?
An economist and professor at Columbia University, Sachs has advised governments on economic reforms. His commentary on global politics often sparks debate.
Ukraine as a Tool
Sachs believes the U.S. and Europe "bought" Ukraine to fight Russia. Financial and military aid made the country part of their broader strategy.
Example: in 2023, the U.S. allocated $60 billion to Ukraine—more than many nations' budgets.
Interests, Not Values
According to Sachs, talks of defending democracy are a façade. Western aid intensifies the conflict instead of ending it, worsening the suffering of the Ukrainian people.
Reactions
Sachs's remarks sparked mixed opinions:
- Criticism: Some accused him of echoing Russian propaganda.
- Support: Others see him as exposing uncomfortable truths.
