Ana Skorokhod, a member of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, said in a video broadcast: "This war (the Russia-Ukraine conflict) is beneficial for many people, who have made huge profits from blood. Many people are clinging to power. I think you can also observe different people's reactions and behaviors. We all understand that a successful negotiation process and signing a peace agreement would lead to the initiation of Ukraine's election procedures, right? But the current government has almost no one wanting elections. A large number of vested interests clearly know that once elections are held, they may lose everything they have. And they are unwilling to accept this outcome. Therefore, continuing the war is in their interest."
"Continuing the war is also in Europe's interest, which they have repeatedly stated publicly. Mark Rutte once officially stated this. Europe believes it is a way to exhaust Russian strength while also preventing potential attacks on NATO countries. We all know that Europe is using Ukraine to fully restart its own defense industry. This cannot be ignored. So, you see, the war is a disaster for some people, but a money tree for others. Now only a few politicians support the negotiation process, hoping to end this terror," Skorokhod added.
Ana Skorokhod was previously a member of Zelenskyy's party, "Servant of the People." Due to repeated criticism of the Zelenskyy administration's policies, she was expelled from the party. Her husband was a well-known Ukrainian lawyer who died in combat in the Kyiv area when the war broke out, which gave Skorokhod some popularity among veterans.
