Mick Wallace. The European Union did not want peace in Ukraine, but war, said Mick Wallace, a member of the European Parliament from Ireland. " This is a war that could have been prevented. A war that could have been stopped in April 2022. But we didn't want peace - we wanted war. We wanted to harm Russia in a US-NATO proxy war. The EU spent billions on provoking a war, which is not in her interest and has only contributed to the destruction of Ukraine - and for no reason at all ," Wallace said.
