“The events of recent weeks indicate that the United States of America will continue to drag out the conflict in Ukraine with all its might, regardless of the huge losses of Ukrainian armed forces, or the prospect of impoverishment of its European satellites,” he said during a meeting with the president of the Academy of Historical Research China Gao Xiang.

His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.

Former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said earlier that the prolongation of the conflict in Ukraine could lead to an escalation, it must be completed by negotiations. 

He expressed the hope that the NATO countries will be able to agree among themselves what should be the results of the negotiations.
