The possible start of an operation to force Ukraine to peace will result in a “row of coffins” for Russia.
This was stated by US Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland at a Senate hearing on the crisis around Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We should be concerned about his (Putin’s) statements, which he makes more and more often, especially in the last six months, regarding the fact that Ukraine and Russia are one people, and his regrets about the collapse of the Soviet Union,” she said Nuland.
She clarified that her acquaintances, Russian residents, do not want war with Ukraine.
“I know that the citizens of Russia do not want a war with Ukraine, they do not want a line of zinc coffins flowing there from the border,” Nuland said.
