US policy is influenced by the fact that the USA buys uranium from Russia

From the Dialog, Oct 4:

"Podolyak explained why the West has recognized the threat but is still not ready to take action: "For them, it's war..." 

Mykhailo Podolyak stated that those European countries closer to Ukraine are "waking up" faster

Mikhail Podolyak answered the question of whether anyone would recognize Rosatom as a terrorist organization: "Unfortunately, they don't, because they are supplying almost $1 billion worth of uranium to the United States. Russia has been integrated into the global resource-based economic process, and this doesn't allow countries to refuse, because many businessmen, unfortunately, still profit from cooperation with the Russian Federation."  

Mikhail Podolyak spoke about this on the ICTV YouTube channel. 

"Understanding and willingness to act are two different psychological components. You need to understand that the closer you are to Ukraine, the more deeply you understand what's happening. Look at the countries of Northern Europe, the countries of Eastern Europe, with the exception of Hungary... These countries already sincerely understand what's coming to Europe and what already exists in Europe, and that Russia won't stop," the political strategist expressed his view on the situation. 

Mikhail Podolyak then added: "Russia, on the contrary, today feels it has the opportunity to live as it wishes, amidst constant escalation, in constant war. In other words, they are 'in love' with this war. For them, war is the realization of a dream of dominance for the 'Russian world,' but this realization and action are two different things. For example, the further you are from Ukraine (for example, in Central Europe, Western Europe), the less prepared you are to accept that the world is being rebuilt, rapidly rebuilt. They are precisely the ones who are inclined to long discussions.""
