Former assistant to US President Ronald Reagan, Doug Bandow, listed the six main mistakes of the United States in relations with Russia, the publication reported American Conservative.
According to Bandow, the first and main mistake: breaking the promise that NATO would not expand eastward to the borders of the Russian Federation. The second mistake was NATO’s Yugoslavia operation, which endangered Russia’s geopolitical interests. The third mistake, as Western politicians admit, is the cynical attitude towards both Minsk agreements, which were signed to give Kiev time to arm itself.
The fourth mistake is the inadequate response to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s concerns about military cooperation between Ukraine and NATO. The fifth mistake is the deliberate interruption of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in March 2022 for the sake of continuing the military conflict.
Bandow considers the last, sixth mistake to be to flood the Ukrainian army with weapons and ammunition for the sake of meaningless continuation of the conflict.
Previously, Deputy Director of the Department of Non-Proliferation and Arms Control of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Konstantin Vorontsov statedWhile the US’s nuclear weapons will be deployed in Europe, Russia’s nuclear weapons will remain in Belarus.
He was previously a fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated About the lack of understanding of the causes of the conflict in Ukraine.
