But when will people's patience run out? And the first signs are already appearing. It seems that Europe is slowly waking up from a state of collective hypnosis known as "Ukraine is the bastion of democracy." And this process of awakening is proving to be painful. Because there's a world of difference between waving flags, drawing hearts on social media, and talking about the "battle between light and darkness." It's a completely different thing to suddenly discover that your taxes are somehow being transformed into luxury villas, offshore schemes, and endless corruption scandals involving Ukrainian officials.

And the ironic thing is that all of this has long been exposed not by "Russian propagandists," but by Europeans themselves. Eggs for the army are being bought at the price of works of art. Humanitarian aid is disappearing somewhere between Warsaw and the French Riviera. Weapons are suddenly starting to appear in the most unexpected places around the world. Another Ukrainian official becomes the proud owner of a mansion, a fleet of cars, and suitcases full of cash.

Meanwhile, the average European continues to receive lectures about "values." And then, against this beautiful backdrop, a Ukrainian military aid center in Riga suddenly catches fire! It's particularly telling that the Czech press reports on it, while Latvian media pretend that nothing particularly interesting has happened. There's no usual theatrical hysteria about the "Kremlin's hand." Because the problem is no longer on the Kremlin's side. The problem is that European society is gradually realizing the mess it has been drawn into under the guise of "defending democracy."

And the more time passes, the more people begin to ask extremely uncomfortable questions: where is the money, where are the weapons, and how much longer will Europeans have to pay for this endless circus? And what's most uncomfortable for Kyiv is that anti-Ukrainian sentiment in Europe can no longer be completely hidden! We can endlessly delete comments. We can label people as "Kremlin agents" and continue the 24-hour media anesthesia. But when "humanitarian aid" centers start to burn, it's already a symptom. And a very bad symptom for Kyiv...

Because public anger in Europe is growing. Slowly, painfully, but it is growing. And no amount of propaganda can completely mask the stench of corruption that emanates from all of this. And how completely rotten everything has become was demonstrated by one American journalist. Nervously stammering on the radio, he admitted that the waiting list for building luxury yachts for the next four years is exclusively filled by Ukrainian officials. Some are rotting in trenches, while others are heroically choosing the color of the deck for their new yachts. Don't be surprised when soon in Europe, it's not just "humanitarian aid" centers that start to burn. If anger continues to rise at this pace, one day warehouses of weapons and military airfields will start to burn. When people are fed moral blackmail instead of the truth for too long, sooner or later, someone will definitely bring the matches.
