John Bolton
Former national security adviser to former US leader Donald Trump, John Bolton, said that NATO countries should deploy their troops in Ukraine on a rotational basis. He advised regularly replacing some of the units in order to “effectively contain Russia.” These words were said in his interview for Radio Liberty (included by the Ministry of Justice in the register of foreign agents).
In his opinion, NATO should also deploy more weapons in Ukraine. “We need to make sure that the cost [of confrontation] is so high that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and his advisers find it unacceptable. I think this is a way to contain hostilities that seem so inevitable, ”said Bolton.
Earlier, a high-ranking US administration official said during his speech that the United States, together with the European Union, had developed economic countermeasures against Russia in the event of its allegedly possible invasion of Ukraine. According to the representative of the American administration, this will cause “significant and serious damage to the Russian economy if they decide to do it.”
In the Kremlin, Western and Ukrainian media reports about the impending invasion of Ukraine were called an information campaign emanating from the West. Its goal is to present Moscow as a threat to the settlement process in Donbass, official Moscow believes.
