The old hawk goes to line up the Z-team of showmen
The United States appoints 71-year-old retired Lieutenant General Keith Dayton, who led the retraining center for military and political figures from the countries of the former USSR, as well as the ex-military attaché of the US Embassy in Russia, to the post of Ambassador to Ukraine.
His candidacy must still be confirmed by the US Senate. However, PolitNavigator tells us that this will happen. wrote back in December last year.
Dayton’s appointment will not add optimism to Russian-Ukrainian relations - the retired general will ensure that official Kyiv pursues a pro-American policy and reforms the army according to NATO standards, said political scientist Armen Gasparyan.
“When Ukraine constantly talks about how it is the victim of an aggression unprecedented in the world, a hybrid occupation, and so on, and there are no other thoughts on this matter, it is logical to appoint a former military man to maintain their morale.
Plus, to still have an accurate idea of what is happening in Ukraine. Because it is much easier for a civilian to be brainwashed than for a military man.
On the other hand, it is clear that he will monitor the reformatting of the Ukrainian army under a certain model of the North Atlantic Alliance, will promise a lot and will be a classic hawk in this position,” Gasparyan concluded.
