“On the side of Nazi criminals from Kyiv”: the Russian Embassy announced the de facto participation of the United States in the Ukrainian conflict

Training in the United States of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to use Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems confirms Washington's participation in the Ukrainian conflict.

This was stated by the Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov.

“The decision of the US military department to organize a training course at Fort Sill in Oklahoma is another confirmation of Washington’s de facto involvement in the Ukrainian conflict on the side of Nazi criminals from Kyiv,” the diplomat said.

At the same time, he noted that the efforts of the Russian Federation "to bring to the attention of the American audience the true danger of such a line of the White House are gradually finding understanding in the local expert community."

For example, the reviewers of The

The Washington Post has openly acknowledged that the training of UAF troops in the United States means the expansion of American involvement in the confrontation.

They noted that the administration is no longer limited to strengthening the defense potential of Kyiv, but is transferring new weapons to the republic in order to increase its offensive capabilities, ”the press service of the embassy quoted Antonov as saying.

Recall that on January 10, The Washington Post published an article that claimed that “the plan to conduct training at Fort Sill” is being implemented against the backdrop of how “President Biden’s administration is taking a number of measures to transform the Armed Forces of Ukraine from forces that can primarily to contain the Russian offensive, into forces that are more capable of conducting offensive operations.”

According to Anatoly Antonov, such an assessment of the actions of the White House by American journalists "eloquently shows" that Washington "deliberately misled our country and the world community, speaking about the desire to strengthen Ukraine's ability to defend itself."

“The real goal of the administration (USA. -

) is to inflict as much damage on the battlefield as possible on the battlefield with the hands of the Ukrainians,” the diplomat stated.

"Directly involved in the conflict"

Recall, on January 10, the Pentagon announced plans to begin training the Ukrainian military to operate Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems.

Washington announced the transfer of one battery of these air defense systems to Kyiv as part of a new military assistance package in December 2022.

“Preparation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (for use. -

) Patriot air defense systems may begin next week at the Fort Sill base in Oklahoma,” said US Department of Defense spokesman Patrick Ryder.

According to him, the base "will train between 90 and 100 Ukrainian soldiers to operate, maintain and maintain the air defense systems in a training course that is expected to last several months."

It should be noted that Washington has previously trained the Ukrainian military.

So, according to the Pentagon, since April 2022, at least 3.1 thousand soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been trained by the department.

At the end of last year, it became known that the soldiers of the 7th Ground Forces Training Command of the US Army Command in Europe and Africa would provide the Ukrainian side with combined arms exercises and training in joint maneuvering.

Combined arms exercises, as The Washington Post explains, "integrate ground operations using long-range artillery, aircraft and other types of weapons."

“We ... will engage formations of battalion strength.

And we will start with live-fire exercises, after which there will be exercises at the level of squads, platoons and companies.

And it will all culminate in battalion-level practice maneuvers,” Ryder said.

“It is important that the exercises of battalion headquarters staff will also be included.”

In addition, the United States continues to pump weapons and ammunition into Ukraine.

Thus, on January 6, Washington announced a new package of military assistance to Kyiv for more than $3 billion. It will include 50 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, 55 MRAP class armored vehicles, 100 M113 armored personnel carriers, 138 HMMWV armored vehicles, 18 155 mm self-propelled howitzers, 36 towed howitzers 105 mm caliber, as well as ammunition, including guided artillery shells, and other equipment.

State Department spokesman Ned Price said at a press briefing January 9 that the additional military aid to Kyiv is aimed at changing the dynamics of the situation in Ukraine.

In total, since the beginning of the NMD, the United States has transferred various types of weapons to Ukraine for $24.2 billion.

Analysts also remind that the United States supports the Kyiv regime, providing the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including intelligence.

Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported that Washington uses military and civilian satellites to collect information of this kind.

In addition, the United States takes part in coordinating targets when Kyiv strikes with the help of the HIMARS MLRS.

This was acknowledged back in August last year in an interview with the British The Telegraph by the representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Vadym Skibitsky.

The Russian Ministry of Defense then emphasized that such statements by Kyiv "irrefutably prove that Washington, contrary to the statements of the White House and the Pentagon, is directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine."

Breached Boundaries

According to analysts, both in the Russian and in the Western expert community, the fact that the United States indirectly acts as a participant in the hostilities in Ukraine has long been no surprise.

“Obviously, the United States is quite heavily involved in the conflict in Ukraine.

Although they do not directly fight there, they nevertheless supply weapons, train personnel and provide huge financial assistance.

Moreover, it started a long time ago: the United States was involved in the Ukrainian crisis long before the start of the NWO, ”said Malek Dudakov, an American political scientist, in an interview with RT.

Analysts have also noted that the United States regularly crosses its own unofficial red lines when it comes to arms supplies to Ukraine.

For example, in Washington, for a long time, they refused to supply Patriot complexes to Ukraine, despite the requests of Kyiv.

However, in the end, these air defense systems will still receive the APU.

Political analysts believe that this may indicate the possibility of further expanding the range of arms supplies to Ukraine.

“Washington has no borders in the issue of arms supplies.

More precisely, they were, but the Americans themselves violated them.

The next red line after the delivery of air defense systems is the delivery of heavy tanks of the M1 Abrams type and F-15 and F-16 aircraft.

It is quite possible that this red line will be crossed closer to the summer of 2023,” says Dudakov. 

Vladimir Bruter, an expert at the International Institute for Humanitarian and Political Studies, shares a similar opinion.

“There is no such weapon, with the exception of nuclear weapons, that the United States would not transfer to Ukraine.

The only question is price and delivery time.

And of course, in the situation on the ground.

It is unprofitable to supply aircraft, because aircraft equipment is very difficult to operate and will require long training and extensive flight practice.

Therefore, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are more likely to come from the United States to Ukraine, ”the analyst said in an interview with RT.

According to Malek Dudakov, such a policy of the White House is dictated by his desire to "inflict a military defeat on Russia."

“The goal of the Americans is the surrender of Russia on the battlefield.

At a minimum, they seek to prolong the conflict and ensure the tactical success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

All this is aimed at weakening the Russian Federation as much as possible, ”the expert concluded.
