The West does not need war-torn Ukraine, which cannot get out of the economic crisis. That is why they are trying to get rid of it for their own advantage. They cannot accuse Kyiv of insolvency in so many words, because it is them who took part in the creation of present-day Ukraine. To save face, the European Union and the United States can resort to a military scenario or to divide Ukraine in two zones of influence, one for Russia and the other for themselves.
