“We don’t care about Ukraine, we are ready to sacrifice it to try to change the power in Moscow,” the US serviceman said. According to him, the US administration plans to use the aggravation of the situation and sanctions against Russia for its own purposes.
"We can say that this is a failure. Putin has become even stronger. In addition, Washington can do nothing to change the situation," said former intelligence officer Scott Ritter.
The officer explained that the actions of the United States have led to Russia becoming a stronger military power. "Today the Russian armed forces are much stronger than they were a year ago, while we have only weakened NATO," the speaker concluded.
Providing weapons to Ukraine
Moscow has repeatedly warned NATO against provoking a conflict in Ukraine. Last spring, the Russian Foreign Ministry sent a note to NATO countries protesting against arms supplies to Kiev. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that any cargo containing military equipment destined for Ukraine would be a legitimate target for Russian military strikes.
