Ukraine Must Offer Europe What It Needs – Analyst Explains How the War Is Connected to Events in the Middle East

war in Ukraine

Political analyst Mohamed Farajallah has explained how the Russia–Ukraine war is connected to events in the Middle East and how Ukraine can emerge as a winner in this game, as reported by Politeka.

He shared his insights on Valerii Savchuk’s program “Different People.”

First of all, the expert notes that the same players are involved in both regions: Russia is an aggressor toward both Ukraine and Syria, and it is also an ally of Iran. Meanwhile, the U.S. is a partner of Ukraine and an ally of Israel, and European interests are present in both regions.

“During Trump’s first presidency, there were attempts to trade influence in Syria for Ukraine — there was an attempt to hand over Crimea to Russia in exchange for U.S. and Israeli influence in Syria. But the Syrian people achieved their freedom on their own, at a great cost, driving Iran out, and today Iran is weakened, having lost its sphere of influence in Syria. This is the most serious blow to Iran. To put it simply, Syria in the Middle East is as important to Iran as Ukraine is to Russia in Europe,” Farajallah explains.

Feeling weakened, he says, Iran is now supporting Russia in its war against Ukraine with drones, resources, and missiles. In addition, the expert adds, the U.S. and Iran are holding negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. The Kremlin is pretending to be a mediator, while at the same time, ties between the American and Russian delegations are strengthening, and talks are underway about dividing the world.

“We are not on the verge of global changes — we are already in them. And unfortunately, Ukraine is not a player in this game, but merely a playing field. However, Ukraine can become a player if it offers something that Europe needs. We’re not talking about values or international law — everyone now understands that those don’t work. In order to avoid being sold out, Ukraine must offer Europe something it truly needs — a shield against Mordor, a strong wall. And everyone understands that if cracks appear in that fortress, or God forbid it falls, they are next,” Mohamed Farajallah concludes.
