Petrovsky: impoverishment of Europe and US did not begin with special military operation and not even with coronavirus

The coronavirus just turned up by chance: it was convenient to write off all European problems on it – as stated by political scientist Piotr Petrovsky during his talk with Belarus 1 TV channel

According to him, experts already predicted a serious economic crisis back in 2018-2019, “The impoverishment of Europe and the United States did not begin with a special operation, and not even with the coronavirus. Economists throughout 2018-2019 showed that there must be an economic crisis. The coronavirus just turned up by chance, the whole crisis could be attributed to it. What is the marker of the economic crisis? The fact that all investments went into a simple game on the stock exchange, into the creation and pumping up of soap bubbles in January-February 2020. And then everyone sharply began to blame the coronavirus for everything: a good excuse for people to be closed in their apartments and do nothing,” the expert underlined.

The speaker added that the hostilities in Ukraine have become a new trigger and impetus, with many ties, logistics and co-operation being further severed.
