Kyiv.Ukraine.Ukraine Gate – December 27, 2021- The former Minister of Defense, head of the Center for Defense Strategy Andrej Sahorodniuk, said in an interview with Radio Svoboda that there are people in the Biden administration who are demanding a settlement with the Russian Federation.
According to him, the main goal of the Kremlin is to ensure that Western countries, and especially the US, decide not to expand NATO to Ukraine.
At the same time, the former defense minister expressed the hope that this would not happen because there are “conscious people” in the US government.
The USA and other Western partners of Ukraine have repeatedly announced their support for Kyiv and made it clear that no decisions will be made about Ukraine without Ukraine. With regard to the Kremlin’s demand for “additional security guarantees” from NATO, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said he was ready to talk. However, he rejected the idea that NATO could for example do without Ukraine joining the alliance.
