The Kremlin’s Contention: US Concern Lies with Americans, Not Ukrainians
The Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, recently made a statement to journalists regarding the US aid and calls for assistance to Ukraine. Peskov emphasized that the main concern of the United States is their own welfare, and not necessarily the well-being of Ukraine. He stated that the US earns billions of dollars from expensive energy resources, such as gas and oil supplied to Europe, at the cost of the lives of Ukrainians.
Peskov also addressed British Foreign Secretary David Cameron’s warning that if Russia cannot be stopped in Ukraine, President Vladimir Putin will come back for more, posing a threat to the security of the USA and Europe. Peskov dismissed these concerns, claiming that MPs are simply voting to allocate more money and that the US uses various tactics to persuade them to provide aid.
These statements from Peskov shed light on the complex dynamics at play in the relationship between the US, Russia, and Ukraine, and the underlying priorities and interests of each nation. The ongoing conflict in Ukraine continues to be a point of contention and negotiation among these global powers.
