The USA has decided on further billions in aid for Ukraine. Russia warns of a grueling war like in Vietnam or Afghanistan.
Moscow – The US House of Representatives approved a billion-dollar aid package for Ukraine on Sunday after months of blockage in the House of Representatives: Washington is investing an additional 60.84 billion against Vladimir Putin. Moscow’s leadership responded to the decision with a warning.
Washington would embark on a hybrid war against Moscow that would end in humiliation comparable to the Vietnam or Afghanistan conflicts, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said loudly Reuters. Above all, Washington’s money would cause the USA to become entangled in a grueling and long-lasting conflict with losses for both sides.
USA does not want to send armed forces, but Russia warns of escalation
Zakharova also said Russia would give “an unconditional and decisive response” to the US becoming more involved in the Ukraine war than before. Even if the USA has once again ruled out sending its own or NATO forces to Ukraine. It is clear that the United States wanted Ukraine to fight “to the last Ukrainian” – including attacks on Russian territory and civilians.
U.S. Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns warned last week that Ukraine could lose on the battlefield without further U.S. military support, but that with support Kiev’s forces could survive this year.
Relations between the USA and Russia are worse than they have been since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962
According to Russian and US diplomats Reuters The large-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 triggered the worst conflict in relations between Russia and the West since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.
In any case, the USA wants to prevent scenarios like those in the Vietnam War between 1955 and 1975. They lost more than 58,000 soldiers and killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. The grueling war ended with the victory of communist North Vietnam and the takeover of the South. (lm)
