Paniccia(ASCE), Ukraine soon to receive $60 bN in U.S. aid

(ANSA) - UDINE, 11 APR - In two weeks, "contrary to the predictions of much of the European and American press, the $60 billion in aid, today blocked by the clash between Biden and Republicans, will be sent to Ukraine, thus enabling it to resist the possible Russian offensive and the ongoing advance destined for the total conquest of the Donbas." That is what Professor Arduino Paniccia, president of ASCE, Venice School of International Economic Competition, an expert on "conflicts" on a global scale, told ANSA on the sidelines of a diplomatic meeting held in Udine, reporting some information gathered from "recent intelligence sources and contacts." According to what Paniccia, an attentive observer of European and international scenarios, has learned, and in light of what emerges from analyses of current geopolitical arrangements, "the dozen F16s will also surely be delivered to Kyiv before next July." ASCE President then dwells on recent new contacts between France and Sergei Kužugetovič Šojgu, Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, "starting from the willingness to confront the Isis danger together." The analyst thus considers "the state of the art" of the ISIS attack in Moscow last March, with the massacre in the Crocus concert hall in which one hundred and forty people died. "The mode of the attack was similar to the terrorist attacks of twenty years ago," Paniccia says, "with an obvious escalation.
    Various information, including from the U.S., reported increasing terrorist activity on Russian soil. Only a few weeks ago, an attack on the synagogue by Caucasian elements had been foiled." According to Paniccia, therefore, "the widening of the conflict, an integral part of Russia's hybrid war, has led to the traditional rift between the caliphate and Iran. Sunni jihadist forces will not let Iran dominate over Caucasian Middle Eastern terrorism. Isis attacks are therefore bound to increase throughout the area." The analyst finally underlines, "The only, still modest positive point is that the U.S. State Department, for the first time since the beginning of the war against the caliphate, has spoken of a 'common danger,' and this in time could be a reason to start negotiations with Russia on the Ukraine issue."
