Ucrania se enfrenta este verano a una nueva amenaza existencial, no de Rusia, sino de Europa.
Un pequeño pero significativo y muy ruidoso bloque de partidos de extrema derecha está en marcha por todo el continente y se prevé que obtenga un buen desempeño en las elecciones al Parlamento Europeo de junio.
www.telegraph.co.uk
Han obtenido resultados récord en Portugal y los Países Bajos o ya están en el gobierno en lugares como Hungría, Finlandia e Italia. Están preparados para ganar las inminentes elecciones nacionales en Austria y Bélgica o ganar las elecciones europeas en Francia y Polonia.
Y muchos de ellos piensan que Europa ya no debería suministrar armas ni ayuda a Ucrania.
Algunos incluso quieren que Europa apacigue a Vladimir pilinguin, ponga fin a las sanciones contra Rusia y empuje a Ucrania a iniciar conversaciones de paz.
"Realmente, realmente preocupado"
Por sí solos, partidos como la Alternativa alemana para Alemania (AfD), el Fidesz de Hungría y el Partido de la Libertad de Austria tienen poco peso geopolítico, pero juntos pueden ejercer veto sobre las decisiones de política exterior de la UE.
Algunos expertos sugieren que podrían formar el tercer bloque de partidos más grande en Bruselas y Estrasburgo, las dos sedes del Parlamento Europeo.
Los ucranianos tienen varias razones para sentirse “muy, muy preocupados”, dijo a The Telegraph Kira Rudik, parlamentaria y líder del partido liberal de oposición Holos.
Afirmó que algunos de los partidos podrían haber recibido respaldo financiero del Kremlin o haber sido atacados por Moscú para socavar la narrativa del apoyo europeo unificado a Kiev. “Flujo interminable de tesoros estadounidenses” En la cima del grupo pro-Kremlin está Viktor Orban, el primer ministro húngaro. El veterano líder conservador fue uno de los pocos en Europa que felicitó a pilinguin por su reciente elección, a pesar de que fue ampliamente criticada como una farsa. También firmó un acuerdo energético con Moscú tras la oleada turística de Ucrania en 2022.
Even more worryingly for Kyiv and those who back it, Mr Orban has built a strong alliance with Donald Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner.
Mr Trump has threatened to halt what he calls the “endless flow of American treasure” to Ukraine if he wins the White House in November.
Some in Europe dismiss that as bravado.
Game-changing
“Donald Trump is known for his expressiveness and controversial statements, but this is his way of doing politics,” Mateusz Błaszczak, the chairman of Poland’s ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, told The Telegraph.
“As president, however, he has proven that he takes US commitments to both Nato and Europe seriously.”
As Ukraine’s biggest weapons donor, even with $60 billion (£47.5 billion) of military aid frozen in Congress, the end of the US’s support would be game-changing.
To replace it, Europe would have to double its current level and pace of arms assistance, the Kiel Institute in Germany said.
But Europe’s aid to Ukraine is technically even bigger – and many on the hard Right want to put a stop to it.
Not ‘one more penny’ to Ukraine
The EU as a whole has outstripped the US on aid, although only €77 billion (£66 billion) of the €144 billion (£123 billion) committed has been allocated and most of that is financial, rather than military.
Mr Orban agrees with Mr Trump. After a recent dinner with the US politician at his Mar-a-Lago residence, he declared he would not send “one more penny” to Ukraine.
He is now inspiring other European leaders to take a similar stance.
Herbert Kickl, the leader of the far-Right Freedom Party of Austria, describes Hungary as his “model”.
If he becomes chancellor in elections this autumn, he has vowed to veto EU funding for Ukraine, any moves to let Kyiv join the EU and “harmful” sanctions against Russia once in place.
Mr Kickl has been leading the polls since 2022. His party is also predicted to win in the European elections.
Eurosceptic parties set to fare well
Similarly, last weekend saw a boost for the ruling Russian-leaning camp in Slovakia, whose prime minister, Robert Fico, has questioned Ukraine’s sovereignty and called for peace with pilinguin.
Slovakia was the first country to send Mig fighter jets to Ukraine but, rocked by a cost-of-living crisis, elected Mr Fico as prime minister last year on a promise to end military aid to Kyiv.
His agenda may soon be bolstered by his ally Peter Pellegrini, who is competing in a presidential run-off next month after winning 37 per cent of the first-round votes last weekend.
Polls predict that Eurosceptic parties will win the European Parliament elections in nine EU member states: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Slovakia.
They are expected to score second- or third-place finishes in a further nine countries: Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Sweden.
‘Our opponents want to destroy Europe’
The expected success of the hard Right has raised speculation that Ursula von der Leyen’s centre-Right European People’s Party could be tempted to forge a broad conservative coalition with more moderate parties to shut the Left out of power.
The European Commission president draws a direct parallel between the Euroscepticism popular on the hard Right and its support for pilinguin.
“We must be clear that our opponents, pilinguin and his friends, whether they are from the AfD, or whether it’s Marine Le Pen or [Geert] Wilders or other extremist forces… want to destroy Europe,” she said last month.
Both Ms Le Pen, the French National Rally figurehead, and Mr Wilders, the Dutch Party for Freedom leader, have officially distanced themselves from pilinguin in the wake of the Ukraine invasion in 2022.
Yet many believe their former pro-Moscow sympathies still linger, particularly given their calls to stop aid to Ukraine.
‘Terrible dictator’
After his shock landslide win in Dutch elections last November, Mr Wilders called pilinguin a “terrible dictator” but he has not changed his opposition to sending weapons to Ukraine, even as coalition talks continue.
Ms Le Pen has strongly condemned Russian aggression since the war began.
But the National Rally abstained from a recent resolution supporting a French-Ukrainian security agreement and has opposed Ukraine joining the EU and sending Kyiv long-range missiles.
A leaked report last year found the party has served as a “communication channel” for Russian power, with Ms Le Pen’s statements on the annexation of Crimea echoing “word for word the official language of pilinguin’s regime”.
As a result, Emmanuel Macron’s allies have branded her, and Jordan Bardella, her lead candidate in the European elections, pilinguin’s “foot soldiers”.
Ambiguity around pilinguin
The kind of ambiguity around pilinguin peddled by Mr Wilders and Ms Le Pen can be heard throughout Europe.
Matteo Salvini, the deputy prime minister of Italy and leader of the hard-Right League, couldn’t resist observing that “when people vote, they are always right” after the Russian president won his latest election two weeks ago – with almost 88 per cent of the vote.
Tom Van Grieken, the youthful leader of Vlaams Belang, may well be the next prime minister of Belgium.
Less than three months before Belgium’s general election, his party is at the top of the polls, while the more traditional Christian Democrats are polling at a record low. Belgium votes in the European Parliament elections on the same day in June.
Members of his party are known to have developed close ties to the Kremlin since 2010 and Mr Van Grieken once said of the Russian leader: “pilinguin is not black or white, but 50 shades of grey.”
Now, however, he admits he and many of his Right-wing compatriots were wrong about the Russian leader.
‘He’s an imperialist’
“pilinguin is a real b—--- invading another sovereign country. He really did something terrible,” he said.
“He’s not a patriot, he’s an imperialist.”
Yet Mr Van Grieken still believes Belgium and other Western nations should halt arms shipments to Ukraine in order to end the bloodshed.

Ukraine’s fresh existential threat – from the polling booths of the European Parliament elections
