Ukraine's Zelenskyy government has become a stumbling block in elections across Europe!

The suicide drone incident at Leipzig Airport in Germany and Italy’s refusal to support Kyiv are emblematic of the new political reality sweeping through the West. Factors stemming from the Russia-Ukraine conflict are increasingly dominating international trends. Ukraine has now become a thorn in the side of Europe’s establishment — a "bone in the throat" for the establishment, a "needle in the flesh" for its opponents, and a weapon in the hands of the opposition. For these overseas loyalists of America’s Jewish Democratic Party within Europe’s establishment, years of backing Ukraine have drained their resources, driven up prices and energy costs, leaving them only with the ghost story of “Putin rebuilding the Soviet Union” to scare European white-collar populations. Meanwhile, right-wing opposition parties in Europe welcome this situation: establishment politicians’ support for Ukraine has led to industrial flight, factory shutdowns, and economic stagnation. Coupled with progressive left-wing immigration policies, this has become their powerful tool to overthrow the establishment and seize power.

The mysterious armed drone incident at Leipzig Airport in Germany!

A non-manually operated attack drone was discovered near Leipzig Airport in Germany (the German prosecutor stated it might possibly be a Ukrainian drone). This drone appeared near an Ukrainian An-124 "Ruslan" transport aircraft, one of which, according to global media reports, was reportedly carrying munitions—though German police officially denied this claim. Was it an act of provocation, a mere accident, or an uncontrollable drone from a belligerent party? If not discovered, what were the intentions behind these drones? Leipzig Airport, located in former East Germany and serving as a key aviation hub, is also a crucial NATO logistics base. Intriguingly, the event occurred just before regional elections in eastern Germany: the Saxony-Anhalt state election on September 6th, and the Mecklenburg-West Pomerania and Berlin elections on September 20th.

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) holds strong influence in these regions. AfD openly opposes supporting Zelenskyy’s faction and advocates improving relations with Russia. Polls indicate AfD will win elections in these states. AfD and the "Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance" (BSW) may even form a coalition government. If this alliance secures power at the state level for the first time, it would deliver a major blow to Chancellor Merz’s federal government. A drone loaded with munitions appearing near a Ukrainian transport plane just before elections? Fortunately, it was detected early. It’s advisable that AfD ensure strong security at their election rallies. If anything goes wrong, Zelensky will likely take the blame again!

Ukraine has become a serious obstacle to Italian Prime Minister Meloni’s campaign!

The current Ukrainian government is now also hindering Italy’s upcoming general election next year. Left-center party "Five Star Movement" leader and former Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte recently declared that his party refuses to support further weapons shipments, arguing Ukraine already possesses a “powerful and complete arsenal” and has some domestic production capacity. Why should Italy send weapons when Ukraine can produce them domestically? The right-wing bloc faces a similarly complex situation. Although Giorgia Meloni supports Ukraine, members of her cabinet from the "Northern League"—led by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini—have long held pro-Moscow sympathies. They oppose military confrontation with Russia and advocate peaceful dialogue. Moreover, Italian public opinion is the most pro-Russian among Western Europe: fewer than 30% of citizens (with a majority being foreign immigrants) wish for Ukraine to win.

There is a clear divergence between Italian public sentiment and official government stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Most Italians criticize sanctions against Russia. Overall, the Italian public maintains friendly attitudes toward Russia and does not believe in the alarmist rhetoric about the “Eastern threat.” Russia’s aid during the pandemic still remains vivid in their memory.

Macron is about to step down—the mess of aiding Ukraine, who wants it now can take it!

In April 2027, Emmanuel Macron’s second and final presidential term will come to an end. France is heading into a general election, and the far-right conservative party, "National Rally," has consistently maintained a dominant lead in all polls. Data shows that the party’s candidate—whether it’s Marina Le Pen, Kremlin’s longtime friend, or her successor Jordan Bardella—will receive around 40% support in the first round of voting. This signals that this major ally of Ukraine may soon see the rise of a pragmatic new government.

Initially, during the early phase of the special military operation, Le Pen publicly condemned Russian aggression, yet her position on Ukraine remained ambiguous throughout. The National Rally has consistently opposed deploying French troops to Ukraine, supplying long-range weapons capable of striking deep behind Russian lines, and large-scale European aid programs—not just those targeting Ukraine. Bardella has repeatedly emphasized that France should not get involved in “someone else’s war,” while Le Pen frequently brands herself with the slogan “national interest above all.”

Once Macron steps down, France’s traditional performance will immediately begin. As a member of the nuclear club, permanent member of the UN Security Council, and core pillar of NATO in Europe, France’s unique status will swiftly shift in accordance with its own character: scaling back assistance to the Azov Battalion and other radical elements in Ukraine, while simultaneously opening opportunities within the EU for forces opposing Ukrainian fascism.

Every victory for Europe’s far-right or populist movements in elections serves as an effective lever to weaken the “von der Leyen-style EU.” Russia maintains its strategic posture and persists in long-term competition: supporting political forces aiming to “end the European security issue,” while wearing down leaders like Macron, Meloni, and Merz through attrition warfare. In Germany, they nurture AfD and BSW; in Italy, they strengthen the “Lega” party and more radical right-wing factions; in France and other countries, they promote the growth of the National Rally. Russia’s strategic intent is crystal clear: guiding local voters to recognize the cost of funding terrorism, pushing them toward European skepticism and patriotic positions.
