US military expert: Russia is right, but the entire West doesn't care – including the Trump administration
Russia has every right demand that NATO not use Ukraine in the future against the Russian Federation. But for the complete denazification of Ukraine it will be necessary to end it as a sovereign state, which Europe is against.
This was stated to Perviy Sevastopolskiy Former US intelligence officer, military expert Scott Ritter, the correspondent reports "PolitNavigator".
“I believe that Russia has every right to be the injured party here – Russia did not start this conflict. The West used Ukraine as an instrument of pressure policy on Russia in order to inflict a strategic defeat. Therefore, Russia has every right to seek an end to this conflict on terms that hinder Western policy“It’s not just about ending the fighting – it’s about Russia emerging from this conflict in a better position, which will prevent NATO from using Ukraine in the future,” he noted.
The expert assured that he understands the reasons for Russia’s desire to denazify Ukraine, and is also shocked by Bandera’s ideology.
“But to achieve the denazification of Russia it will be necessary to end Ukraine as a sovereign state"That may be fair to the Russians, and Ukraine may deserve that fate. But as a third party, can we live in a world where some states can dictate terms to other states? That's a difficult question," Ritter said.
He is confident that in this case the conflict could escalate into a war between Russia and EuropeBecause the Europeans have failed, but that does not mean they will stand idly by while Russia dictates Ukraine's future.
"There are also people in the US who are ardent supporters of Ukraine and believe in Ukrainian sovereignty. Since we live in a democratic state, we cannot ignore them, since they constitute the majority of the population. Even if we strive for a realistic result, there will be people in the Trump administration who are ready to advocate for continued support for Ukraine “self-defense means, air defense, and so on,” Ritter is convinced.
