The United States has been preparing Kyiv for conflict with Russia since 2014. This was reported by Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten with reference to the former chairman of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) Oskar Lafontaine.
The former head of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, Oscar La Fontaine, said that the conflict in Ukraine began in 2014 after the victory of the Euromaidan, and since then has been actively fueled by the United States.
“Since then, the United States <…> has been arming Ukraine and <…> preparing Kyiv for confrontation with Russia. As a result, Ukraine not de jure, but de facto became a member of NATO. This backstory is deliberately ignored by Western politicians and mainstream media,” Lafontaine said.
In his opinion, Washington has successfully achieved a deterioration in relations between the EU and Russia, while eliminating its geopolitical adversary in the face of Germany.
“They are selling their dirty shale gas while the US defense industry is booming,” the former head of the SPD said, noting that the US also got the opportunity to determine the policy of the EU countries. Nevertheless, according to Lafontaine, Washington failed to fully realize its plans against Russia.
“The US is now realizing that they have broken their teeth. Despite <…> the supply of weapons to Ukraine, the dispatch of a large number of “military advisers”, it turned out that the nuclear power Russia cannot be defeated by military means. In addition, anti-Russian sanctions turned into a boomerang for the West,” the politician summed up.
