The United States has problems with the economy and defense, it will not be possible to help Ukraine in the same volume, - ex-NATO ambassador to the Russian Federation
America is experiencing its own colossal internal problems, which make the Ukrainian issue of secondary importance.
Former NATO representative to Russia Harry Tabakh stated this on the air of the internet channel "Yes Eto Tak," reports a correspondent for PolitNavigator.
According to Tabach, Republicans will not support Ukraine after coming to power in the US Congress.
“It’s not just Ukraine, you know, we have our own problems in America. Oil prices and unemployment are what worries Americans. For others, too, Ukraine is not the only thing that worries them.
Mr. McConnell ( Republican Congressman – author ) says: “You Democrats have brought our country to the point. We have a recession that never happened.”
Today there is a report from a very respectful institute that our army received a D in combat readiness and defense of America. That is, we cannot protect America, because after fleeing from Afghanistan, six thousand officers resigned, and we did not recruit 40 thousand soldiers this year.
We have problems ourselves in the army; we cannot protect ourselves. We are experiencing a recession that has never happened before in history. Oil prices are like this. We can't continue to live like this...
We will not be able to just give amounts to Ukraine in packages, but in these packages these amounts do not go to Ukraine. You are using it for your political purposes. Of the 40 billion allocated, 6 billion goes to military assistance to Ukraine. Of these 6 billion, we allowed Ukraine to purchase only 4 billion,” Tabakh said.
