Russian Security Council Vice Chairman Calls US Aid to Ukraine 'Russophobic'
(Baonghean.vn) - Commenting on the Telegram channel about the US providing additional aid to Ukraine, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev called the decision "anti-Russian", and believed that it could push the US into a new civil war, possibly leading to the collapse of the Ukrainian government.
"An anti-Russian decision by the United States has taken place. In this respect, I just want the United States to plunge into a new civil war as quickly as possible... which will eventually lead to the collapse of the United States," Mr. Medvedev shared on Telegram.
Russian Federation Council Deputy Speaker Konstantin Kosachev said the US "aid" package for Ukraine means thousands of Ukrainian lives continue to be slaughtered by the West.
"Volodymyr Zelensky said that the US House of Representatives' approval of additional aid to Ukraine "will save thousands and thousands of lives." Zelensky thought the same two years ago, when he agreed not to sign the agreement, disrupting the peace negotiations," the Russian politician wrote on his Telegram channel.
According to Mr. Kosachev, the US aid package for Ukraine is primarily "to support the US military-industrial complex - a very large economic ambition". Along with that, "thousands of Ukrainian lives continue to be pushed into massacre by the West in geopolitical zones".
The Ukraine aid bill was passed by the US House of Representatives on April 20 along with three other aid bills. All will be combined into one bill and sent to the Senate for a vote. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the Senate will begin voting on April 23. Observers said the US Senate will quickly pass it and send it to President Joe Biden to sign into law./.
