Russia tried its best: the West threw Ukraine to the sidelines of history - Kiev political scientist
Russia, as a result of a breakthrough associated with the creation of a new type of weapon, forced the United States to change its strategy, in which there is no longer a place for Ukraine.
Ukrainian political scientist Alexander Lazarev said this on the YouTube channel “Echo of Kyiv,” the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“You can treat Russia as you like, but the fact that in 2018 they made a breakthrough in the military sphere, and the Americans consequently lost control of the periphery, this provoked all the disturbances in the Middle East, in the Persian Gulf, in the Caspian region and in Ukraine Same.
The situation is that when they announced the presence of hypersonic weapons, which actually have a fairly serious range, the Americans first said that there was no such thing. Then the White House confirmed that such weapons exist, and they are also starting to work on them.
They (the Russians) destroyed the monopoly on the control of the periphery, because they received exactly the same club that the Americans had. And now a certain parity has grown, and the US strategy towards Russia has changed,” Lazarev said.
“The strategy has changed, and Ukraine in this situation has found itself on the sidelines of history; we have not become Poland. We hoped that, just as Poland, the showcase of the Western world in the post-Soviet space, received colossal money, we hoped that now we would be put up against Russia and get a lot of money. No, we have not received it and will not receive it.
The strategy changed, they outplayed it. Trump himself stated that Ukraine is the country that is now a stumbling block in restoring relations between the United States of America and the Russian Federation. Is there anything else that needs to be said to understand that the West will not help you?” – added the political scientist.
