This is indicated by the development of the US Congress a bill on the supply of weapons to Ukraine and the preparation of a landing of American military advisers who will engage in combat training of the National Guard. Parliamentarians believe that Europe today is not able to influence the end of the Ukrainian crisis, since it depends on the Americans in foreign and defense policy. This point of view is shared by the Russian Foreign Ministry, which regards the US actions as an interest in the further escalation of the military conflict in Ukraine.
“It is obvious that the United States, having unleashed a political crisis in Ukraine, is now preparing a war on European territory. If we compare it with Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya or Yugoslavia, then for them this is a conflict that should smolder all the time,” says Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs Leonid Kalashnikov, noting the clear interest of the United States in supplying weapons to NATO countries that plan to increase their military budgets.
According to him, the continuation of the conflict is indicated by Petro Poroshenko’s statements made a few hours before the Normandy Four negotiations: the denial of any privileges to Donbass as an autonomy, as well as the readiness to introduce martial law in the country.
“The United States is interested in a further military conflict in the southeast of Ukraine to spite Moscow. Just as they were once ready to fight Ho Chi Minh to the last Vietnamese, now they are ready to fight to the last Ukrainian. For them, this is a computer geopolitical game in which they do not suffer human casualties,” Deputy Chairman of the Committee on International Affairs of the Federation Council Andrei Klimov explained to Izvestia.
“US statements about possible arms supplies to Ukraine on the eve of the ceasefire negotiations indicate the Americans’ disinterest in the peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian crisis,” a source in the Russian Foreign Ministry commented to Izvestia on the US actions, noting that the EU countries that have lost their sovereignty will not be able to influence the resolution of the Ukrainian crisis. crisis.
“If the United States starts supplying weapons, the situation will become seriously complicated, since Russia will not leave the residents of south-eastern Ukraine in trouble. In this case, there will be an escalation of the conflict, which neither we nor Europe need, there will be such a “cauldron” that Debaltsevo will seem like paradise,” adds Vladimir Dzhabarov, deputy chairman of the Committee on International Affairs of the Federation Council.
Nevertheless, he is confident that the United States will strive to expand the war in Ukraine that is beneficial to them.
