The White House in WashingtonMOSCOW, 28 Mar. The United States is not waging an undeclared war on Ukraine with Russia in order to maintain its hegemony in the world. With such a statement in an article for the information portal The Gray Zone, a retired high-ranking American diplomat Chas Freeman made such a statement. The actions of official Washington, he believes, left Moscow no choice but to use force. «It seems to me that everything that the United States is doing now, not only does not contribute to accelerating the cessation of hostilities and reaching some kind of compromise, but, on the contrary, is aimed at prolonging the war,» the expert noted. In the United States, the diplomat believes that the current situation plays into the hands of the country: the crisis reinforces the negative attitude towards Russia, it is beneficial for the national military-industrial complex and, in addition, strengthens NATO. The United States will fight Russia «to the last Ukrainian,» Freeman concluded. wp-content/uploads/2022/03/d26c31b35631777292a852c4e0518fe3.jpg» />The British attacked Zelensky for trying to provoke a third world war. On February 24, Russia launched a special military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin called its goal «the protection of people who have been subjected to harassment and genocide by the Kiev regime for eight years.» According to the Ministry of Defense, the Armed Forces strike only at military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops. With the support of the Russian military, the DPR and LPR groups are developing an offensive. But the occupation of Ukraine is out of the question, Putin emphasized. After the start of the special military, Western countries announced large-scale sanctions against Moscow, primarily in the banking sector and in the supply of high-tech products. Many brands have announced the termination of work in the country. The Kremlin called these measures an economic war, the likes of which have never been seen before. At the same time, the authorities stressed that they were ready for such a development of events and would continue to fulfill social obligations. The Central Bank is taking measures to stabilize the situation on the foreign exchange market.Read the full text of the article on the InoSMI website >>
