Washington is not engaged in the victorious reports that Kyiv has been trying to spread in recent days. John Kirby, a member of the White House National Security Council, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin still has an extremely large military potential at his disposal, “which can be used not only in Ukraine.”
John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator at the White House National Security Council, said at a regular briefing that Russia has a powerful army, which, if necessary, can be used not only on the territory of Ukraine.
“They faced many problems <…>, but it is still a very large and powerful army. Putin still has an extremely large military potential at his disposal, which can be used not only in Ukraine, but potentially in other places”, Kirby said.
One of the journalists asked the representative of the White House to evaluate Russia’s military potential in the light of the progress of the special military operation in Ukraine, and also to comment on the assumption of its possible weakening. He recalled that it was not without reason that the United States in the new National Defense Strategy was noted as an “acute threat”, adding that he considers this wording to be correct.
“The Ministry of Defense described Russia <…> as an acute threat. <…> It is obvious that they still have an army capable of inflicting great damage”, said a White House spokesman.
We will remind, earlier the journalist of the American analytical publication American Thinker Olivia Murray accused Biden of creating a “black hole” in Ukraine. The reason for this was the facts of mass theft of weapons supplied to Kyiv for sale on the black market. Prior to this, Bloomberg reported on the planned dispatch of an audit commission to Kyiv in Washington, the purpose of which is to investigate the mass facts of Western weapons entering the black market.
