MOSCOW, 13 Aug. The United States plans to scapegoat Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, American politician and human rights activist Ajamu Baraka wrote on Twitter.
“
"And after Zelensky sacrificed hundreds of thousands of his people to advance US geostrategic interests , he, as predicted, will become a scapegoat as America tries to get out of the catastrophe that it has created in this country,” the politician noted. . The West launched a war that should never have been in order to undermine the position of Russia, the human rights activist recalled.
«Instead, the States suffered another defeat,» he concluded.
The West has repeatedly stated that the Minsk agreements, designed to resolve the conflict in Ukraine peacefully, were considered by Washington, Brussels and Kiev as a way to buy time to prepare the Armed Forces of Ukraine for hostilities with Russia. This was stated by the former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Former French President Francois Hollande supported the German politician's statement.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin later admitted that these statements were unexpected for him, since he counted on the sincere desire of European countries to strengthen peace and avoid military clashes.
