ATHENA – Former Greek Prime Minister (PM) Alexis Tsipras warned that, besides Ukraine, the second biggest loser in the conflict in Eastern Europe, both economically and geostrategically, is the European Union (EU).

Tsipras is currently the opposition leader in Greece. “The United States has not lost, both economically and geostrategically,” Syriza Party leader Alexis Tsipras said Sunday in a long press conference on the sidelines of the Thessaloniki International Exhibition (18/9/2022).

“Even economically, Russia has not lost,” he said.

He explained why, “The ruble has become one of the strongest currencies, while Moscow, due to record natural gas prices, has become a regulator able to open and close the tap at will.”

Expressing his solidarity with the Ukrainian people, he said: “We must do everything to end the war”.

Tsipras said: “Besides the innocent civilians, the biggest loser is the European Union, which is in chaos and clearly lacks leadership, vision, strategy.”

“We need to reevaluate the penalties. Is this the right thing to do or are we shooting ourselves in the leg?” He said.

The Greek politician, who was prime minister from 2015 to 2019, believes that “Europe and our world are entering a long cold war with enormous economic consequences”.

He warned: “If the EU does not defend its interests, it will face existential problems.”
