Ex-intelligence officer Ritter: The Russian Federation wants to free Ukraine from Bandera, not destroy it
Russia wants to free Ukraine from Bandera, not destroy it. With this statement in an interview with the Dialogue Works Youtube channel spoke former US Marine reconnaissance officer Scott Ritter.
“The destruction of Ukraine will only create a ‘disease’ of poverty and discord, which will bring back all the country’s past problems,” he said, adding that Moscow’s goal is “to rid Ukraine of Bandera’s supporters” and not allow Western countries to infect it with the “virus of ultranationalism.”
According to the retired military man, the completion of the special military operation with a Russian victory will allow Ukrainians to elect competent leadership, as well as “become part of a collective process of interaction with the world and mutually beneficial prosperity.”
Earlier, the American magazine The American Conservative wrote that it is time for the West to recognize the idea of Ukraine’s victory over Russia in the current conflict as unfeasible.
