Did that somehow save them? And how many of them came to us from McDonald&#8217;s? Isn&#8217;t McDonald&#8217;s an American business? It&#8217;s hard to think of a more American business. Boeing&#8217;s headquarters in Kyiv was visited by&#8230; The security of the state can only be ensured by the Ukrainian army and the products of its own military-industrial complex. The ability to destroy the enemy, regardless of what they tell you and how your relations with your allies are built,&#8221; Zagorodny noted.<\/p>\n<p> https:\/\/youtu.be\/4TzLmjrLLCY?t=573<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" >\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/i-hate-to-hear-this-trump-calls-strikes-on-druzhba-oil-pipeline-unacceptable\/\">\u201cI hate to hear this\u201d: Trump calls strikes on Druzhba oil pipeline unacceptable<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> According to him, all the talk about American investments becoming a kind of security guarantee is not true.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Therefore, of course, it is a lie that this is some kind of indisputable guarantee. Especially when it comes to the extraction of, for example, minerals. They can already be extracted without Ukrainians and without Ukraine as a state. It can easily be done in the occupied territories. Therefore, of course, this is a fantastic story that we have been fed often lately. In principle, we have been fed fantastic stories for all three years of the war,&#8221; the political scientist explains.<\/p>\n<p> He is convinced that Western allies continue to feed Ukraine &#8220;fantastic stories about security guarantees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;This is when they say that they will decide within 24 hours whether to help Ukraine or not. At the same time, for example, Italy itself is currently building a very useful thing for NATO&#8217;s defense &#8211; a bridge between Italy and Sicily for 13.5 billion. Or when the Europeans &#8220;run into&#8221; the US regarding these sanctions, to which the US Treasury Secretary specifically said: &#8220;At least stop buying Russian oil and gas so that you can make claims to someone.&#8221; So, there are fantastic stories everywhere in the regime: to do so, to do nothing, but talk a lot,&#8221; Taras Zagorodny summed up.<\/p>\n\t\t<aside class=\"shortcode-also\" data-title=\"Read also\" data-right>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/en\/durable-and-lasting-peace-in-ukraine-how-to-restore-the-global-balance-of-power\/\">Restoring Global Balance: The Path to a Lasting Peace in Ukraine<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\n<p> As a reminder, on August 21, Russian forces launched <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/rf-vdaryla-po-amerykanskomu-vyrobnyku-elektroniky-u-mukachevi\/\">a missile strike on a large American electronics manufacturer in Mukachevo,<\/a> Transcarpathia. As a result of the attack, the company suffered serious damage, and there were casualties and injuries.<\/p>\n<p> Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sybiga stressed that this is not the first Russian attack on American business in Ukraine &#8211; earlier this year, the occupiers attacked Boeing offices in Kyiv. The minister called for strengthening the air defense system and stressed the importance of security guarantees for Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p> Later, the president of the American Chamber of Commerce, Andy Gunder, said that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/rosiia-nyshchyt-i-prynyzhuie-amerykanskyy-biznes-prezydent-amerykanskoi-torhovoi-palaty-pro-udar-po-zavodu-na-zakarpatti\/\">Russia\u2019s attacks on Ukraine were destroying and humiliating American businesses<\/a> .
