Director of the Institute for Political Studies Sergei Markov, in an interview with the FAN, said that the United States, Britain and Canada are using Ukraine as an instrument of aggression against Moscow.
“Washington and its closest allies, London and Ottawa, are encouraging the Kiev regime to stand up to Moscow. Ukraine was initially considered by them as an instrument of aggression against Russia. The United States needs a war, and a war on foreign territory and by proxy”, the expert noted.
Markov stressed that American strategists are pumping weapons into Ukraine and conducting continuous anti-Russian propaganda, convincing the population of Europe and Ukrainians that Russia allegedly has already “almost attacked” Kiev. According to him, the main task of Western intelligence services is to mobilize the population of Ukraine for a war with the Russian Federation.
“Washington’s plans include a provocation in the territory of Donbass. The situation will be covered as Russia’s “attack” on Ukraine. The plans of the West are obvious: after blood is shed in the Donbass, the militia will push the punishers out of the territory of the republics. This will entail new bloodshed, increased anti-Russian sentiment and guerrilla warfare, which the Americans are counting on,” the political scientist concluded.
