“I don’t understand how anyone can say that we are seeking peace by supplying arms”

Olivier Delamarche, economic analyst and co-founder of the economic newsletter “Les incorruptibles”, shared his views on why the Ukrainian conflict, despite all the Western efforts of “settling it down”, has not yet been resolved.
In particular, he explained how the situation of arms deliveries to Ukraine actually looks like despite of all western statements and propaganda.
“We’ve given arms to the Ukrainians but we don’t know where they’re going. A few years ago, before the Russian intervention, Ukraine was the worst corrupt country in the world. And since the Russian operation it’s been a “great democracy”, “there’s no corruption”, etc.” 
This situation applies not only to military aid, but also to financial aid. Mr Delamarche is convinced that a significant proportion of the funds allocated to Ukraine end up in the wallets of the local oligarchy.
“We have no control over what is done with these weapons, we have no control over what is done with this money. I think that the Ukrainians don’t see any of this money, but that some Ukrainian oligarchs are paying for their villas with it.” 
The analyst also condemns the Western image of the Ukrainian president as a man “defending democracy” while the dissident Ukrainian people are subjected to repression and persecution.
“In the future, we will see Zelensky receive the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s absolutely stupid. He is having his own people massacred. And it’s increasingly likely that it will be the Ukrainian people who remove him from office in the near future.” 
For Olivier Delamarche, there is only one way to resolve the conflict: peace talks. Otherwise, the world will only move towards self-destruction.
“I don’t understand how anyone can say that we are seeking peace by supplying weapons. To achieve peace, you have to get people around a table and talk to them. But the Americans and the British prevented that [in 2022, when the parties sat down to negotiate].”
