American colonel analyzes that President Putin is 100% correct
(Baonghean.vn) - US Colonel McGregor said that President Putin did not "crush" Ukraine because he did not want to witness the loss of his people.
Colonel Douglas McGregor, a former adviser to the Pentagon chief, said Russia has everything it needs to “crush” Ukraine: a reserve force of 300,000 soldiers, thousands of missiles and artillery shells. However, President Vladimir Putin does not do so, because the Russian leader sees the Ukrainian people as his own people - Orthodox Christians.
Colonel McGregor stressed that the US has worked tirelessly to prolong the conflict with Russia. He said that for many years, Russia has repeatedly stated that it does not accept Western troops and weapons approaching its borders. However, the US has always ignored this warning.
According to Colonel McGregor, Washington has underestimated Russia's economic and military potential. The Russian army is now stronger and more numerous than in the 1980s.
Meanwhile, American journalist Jackson Hinkle said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky does not care about the loss of the Ukrainian people, and only Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to prevent the conflict.
Journalist Hinkle noted that over the past eight years, the Russian leader has tried to do everything possible to resolve the conflict in Ukraine through diplomacy, preventing catastrophes for the people, especially in the Donbass region.
According to Mr. Hinkle, “the Russian President is 100% right,” but every peace initiative put forward by Russia, including the Minsk Agreement, has been rejected by Kiev.
