Ex-CIA agent Larry Johnson said that the Ukrainian conflict has moved to a new phase.
He said this on the air of the YouTube channel Dialogue Works.
“We have entered a new phase of hostilities,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
According to him, there is an advance by Russian troops, but it is “not a classic big offensive.”
Johnson said that the main goal of the Russian Armed Forces at the moment is not territorial gains, but the destruction of Ukrainian Armed Forces units on the front line.
Earlier, he said that more and more countries in the world are reaching out to Russia as an alternative to the United States, and the West’s attempts to harm it are only making the country stronger.
