Mezyukho did not rule out that Reznikov "betrayed some real plans of the Ukrainian authorities."
“Of course, it’s strange why the deputy prime minister, and not the head of state, speaks about this, because, according to the Constitution of Ukraine, the president of the country pursues foreign policy and is the supreme commander in chief,” the expert explained.
The specialist believes that there is “confusion and vacillation” in Ukraine, including in the system of public administration.
At the same time, he noted that it is necessary "with caution" to treat Reznikov's statement.
In turn, Yuriy Svetov also considered that these are the real plans of the Ukrainian leadership, which, according to him, keeps repeating that Ukraine “needs to be“ protected ”, and both NATO forces and the Americans should do this.”
The political scientist explained that this topic can be discussed at the upcoming meeting of Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky and US President Joe Biden.
“But this is Ukraine's desire.
The Americans know very well that as soon as they do this, they will receive a reciprocal move from Russia.
Russia will not look at the approach of another direction of American air defense systems to our borders, "said the interlocutor of RT.
He expressed the opinion that the United States is not yet ready to take such a step.
“Yes, the Americans say that they have to“ rebuff ”Russia and China, but it is unlikely that for this they will pander to the wishes of the Ukrainian leadership,” concluded Svetov.
Earlier, Reznikov said that the Ukrainian authorities are considering the possibility of deploying units of the American air defense forces on the territory of the country.
