US military lieutenant colonel says Secretary of State Blinken is 'minister of war' on Ukraine
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is only interested in continuing the war in Ukraine and has become “the Secretary of War,” retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis said on his YouTube channel Deep Dive.
“Have you heard a word about diplomacy? You only hear what you can expect from the Secretary of War. Ammunition, weapons, supplies, money to continue the war,” he commented on the recent statement of the US Secretary of State.
Davis noted that Blinken's words about Western militaries training Ukrainian soldiers are meaningless, because at the moment they will not change the situation on the battlefield in any way and will only lead to huge losses for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
“When you pat yourself on the back and think about how well you supported the Ukrainian soldiers, all you are doing is sentencing them to death,” he concluded.
Russia believes that supplying weapons to Ukraine hinders the settlement, directly draws NATO countries into the conflict and is "playing with fire". Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov noted that any goods containing weapons to Ukraine will become a legitimate target for Russia. According to him, the US and NATO are directly involved in the conflict, not only supplying weapons but also training personnel in the UK, Germany, Italy and other countries.
The Kremlin said that pumping weapons from the West into Ukraine does not contribute to the negotiations and will have a negative impact.
