MOSCOW, May 13US House Democratic Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Washington is «at present at war.» He said this during a debate with Republican Steven Skalis on the topic of rising gas prices and oil production. «I would like us to end this as soon as possible and finally focus on our enemy. I understand that we have politics here, but we are at war,» he said in the middle of the speech.»Not a cent to Zelensky!» Another US congressman refused to arm Ukraine. Also, during a discussion with an opponent, Hoyer made the remark that «it is not worth criticizing the work of the president in wartime.» At the same time, White House press secretary Jen Psaki previously claimed that the White House «has no intention of sending troops to Ukraine and start a war with Russia.» Later, the Biden administration repeatedly repeated this thesis. The Russian side emphasized that the United States was arming Ukraine precisely in order to unleash an armed conflict. Thus, the day before, the head of the Russian delegation at the talks in Vienna on military security and arms control, Konstantin Gavrilov, noted that Ukraine is being cynically used by Washington to wage a «proxy war» with Russia, while US military-industrial corporations continue to profit from bloodshed.< img src="/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/3185b168729afecdca74c1e23fefd86c.jpg" />The West has created a military titan in Ukraine that will destroy itFebruary 24, Russia launched a special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine. As Vladimir Putin stressed, its goal is «to protect people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.» According to the Ministry of Defense, the Russian armed forces strike only at the military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops, nothing threatens the civilian population. The ministry called the liberation of Donbass the main goal of the operation. Against this background, the United States and its NATO allies continue to pump weapons to Ukraine. The other day, President Joe Biden signed the lend-lease law, which simplifies the provision of military assistance to her. Moscow has repeatedly stated that the supply of Western weapons only prolongs the conflict, and the transport of weapons becomes a legitimate target.
