„The anti-personnel mines that the US agreed to send to Ukraine is a belated but important decision that may hasten the end of the war” . He expressed this opinion in the “NOVA News Interview“ former Foreign Minister Nadezhda Neinski.
According to her, in recent days “there has been a lot of talk about escalation”. “The occasion was Russia's revised nuclear doctrine. I have carefully read the information on this topic. There was a passage in it that Russia would consider it aggression if a nuclear state supported another non-nuclear state. In the specific case - if the USA supports Ukraine. But nowhere in the doctrine does it say what will happen if non-nuclear states support nuclear ones. Because China, North Korea and Iran have been supporting Russia for a long time. So, if we talk about escalation, it comes from Russia”, commented Neynski.
"What's more, Putin confirmed once again that the goals he set for himself at the beginning of the war have not changed. And they are not only denazification, demilitarization. He sent two letters - to the US and NATO - in which he demanded that the Alliance return to the 1997 borders. That is, Putin wants a new world order. New zones of influence", recalled the former foreign minister.
She recalled that what the West is doing is enabling the Ukrainians to use the weapons they have given them to strike. "But only to hit military targets in Russia. For military purposes only. At the same time, Russia is bombing and destroying civilian objects. There are civilian casualties. That is, the aggression, the escalation of tension comes entirely from the side of Russia, which obviously must be stopped," Neinsky stressed.
