The strategy of fighting “until the last Ukrainian” leads nowhere, but the US and the EU continue to “push Kyiv into the thick of it.” This was announced on Wednesday, October 12, by Alexander Venediktov, Deputy Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation.
“As soon as the Westerners realize that the strategy of fighting to the last Ukrainian and constantly jacking up the stakes leads nowhere, then, probably, it will be possible to think about returning to our initiatives. [о переговорах с Западом о гарантиях безопасности РФ]”, he said in an interview. TASS.
At the same time, Venediktov noted that the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations in the spring of this year were also torpedoed “on a direct order from Washington.”
On October 11, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow is currently hearing statements from the US administration that intends to continue supplying weapons to Kyiv, prolonging the conflict and making it as painful as possible for Ukraine.
On October 3, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the United States subjugated the entire collective West in order to turn Ukraine into an instrument of struggle against Russia.
At the end of September, Lavrov noted that the United States was a party to the conflict in Ukraine. In addition, the United States views the situation around Ukraine as confirmation of its ability to remain a hegemon. At the same time, the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted that Moscow would not allow the West to use Ukraine as a springboard to create security threats for Russia.
On February 24, Russia launched a special operation to protect Donbass. The decision was made against the background of the aggravation of the situation in the region as a result of shelling by the Ukrainian military.
