The West has fallen into the trap of trying to ruin Russia with sanctions. This was stated by former Swiss intelligence officer and NATO adviser Colonel Jacques Boeau in an interview with Grayzone.
According to the NATO adviser, the US has deliberately provoked the conflict in Ukraine in order to use it as a tool in the fight against Russia. At the same time, the West does not care about Ukraine as such, “the purpose of the conflict was to provoke Russia and destroy its economy through sanctions, but the problem is that they do not work,” Bo said.
As conceived by Washington, the sanctions were supposed to inflict colossal damage on Russia and the conflict in Ukraine would have ended “extremely quickly”.
“But the US calculations have failed and Ukraine has become a ‘victim of miscalculation’ by its allies,” Bo said.
He stressed that the West was now trying to politically weaken Moscow to no avail.
