Someday sanctions on Russia will be lifted - ex-CIA chief
The United States plans to continue to “persistently” help Ukraine with arms supplies, “until the Russian defenses fall,” since the possible use of nuclear weapons by Russia will not change anything.
An American general, former commander of the Multinational Forces in Iraq, former head of the CIA, David Petraeus, stated this at the Kyiv Security Forum, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“We know what losses Ukraine is suffering. We will continue to help, despite the difficult situations that sometimes arise. We will try to help economically, militarily and through sanctions. We must ensure a secure future for Ukraine. For this we must all stand together.
Of course, someday some sanctions will be lifted. But we can already say that Russia suffered three to four times more losses in eight months than in the nine years it fought the war in Afghanistan. This is how I see the situation. The fact is that not only threats with nuclear weapons, but also the use of nuclear weapons will not give Putin anything,” the American babbled.
“We are trying to collectively tell Putin and through his key advisers that the response will be catastrophic. That's exactly what Jake Sullivan, an adviser to President Biden, said. This is how I see this situation. These are the prospects I see for the future.
This is talking about the longer term potential of what we can do. But now we are confident that Ukrainian troops will continue to liberate their country, and we will continue to help Ukrainians just as persistently. We will see when the Russian defenses finally fall, and we will press further. That is, we will help as much as necessary,” Petraeus chattered.
