Political scientist Mukhin named the goals of the West in the situation with Ukraine and Russia

“The Americans and the British need Ukraine now to be a powder keg, where the wick is inserted and which must be given to Russia so that this powder keg explodes in the hands of Russia,” he said.

According to Mukhin, in this case, Russia would be blamed for the fact that this “barrel exploded” and Moscow would face sanctions and international censure.

“The American partners and the British will stand up as a wall and say: “You did this to Ukraine, now you owe it and owe us.

And in the name of all that is beautiful, you must pay and repent,” the political scientist believes.

Earlier, US Republican Congressman Jim Banks introduced a new draft of sanctions against Russia.
