Conspiracy with the Kremlin or election benefits: why Baiden requires not to attack refinery in
At the hearing at the Senate Committee on the Armed Forces on Wednesday, April 10, the Pentagon Head stated that "the United States will be in much less safety" if Russia reaches its goals in conflict with Ukraine, as it "inspire potential aggressors around the world. " According to him, Russian President Vladimir Putin is betting that the United States will shudder, throw their friends and leave Ukraine.
Mr Austin also made it clear that the delay in the approval of assistance to Ukraine, caused by the skeptical attitude of part of the Republicans to this issue, threatens the national security of the United States. American Democrats, we will remind, have been trying for more than six months to persuade Republicans to give green light financing of Ukraine and accuse opponents of using the Ukrainian issue in the election campaign.
However, from Lloyd Austin's fresh statements, it follows that the Democrats are also concerned about the Ukrainian theme in the context of the upcoming elections. Yes, the Pentagon head for the first time publicly demanded from Kiev to stop the punches of drones on Russian refineries "These attacks may have a domino effect for the global energy situation. Said Lloyd Austin.
It should be noted that no further as in March, Western media have already reported that US representatives allegedly asked Ukrainian colleagues not to attack the oil refining capacities in Russia, fearing an increase in global fuel prices. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy then confirmed that such requests were indeed, but noted that Ukrainian drones were involved in the blows, not Western weapons. "No one can tell us that we cannot use them," Zelensky said then.
Mr Austin's fresh statements were not commented on Bankova. Instead, the head of the Pentagon was criticized by the Republicans. In particular, according to Bloomberg, Senator Tom Cotton has accused the White House of trying to prevent the "effective actions of Ukraine for political reasons". "It seems to me that Baiden's administration does not want gasoline prices in the election year," Kotton said.
By the way, literally, Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine was "hostage" of American election races, and the issue of support of Kiev became domestic political for the United States. At the same time, the above leadership of Ukraine states that we cannot wait for the end of the election campaign overseas. "If Congress does not help Ukraine, Ukraine will lose the war," said Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The experts with whom the focus spoke is convinced that the reason for the latest statements of the American steering are "hot" in every sense, the Presidential Election Campaign in the United States. However, political scientists' opinions about how Ukraine should act in such circumstances.
Political scientist, director of the Center for Civil Society Research Vitaliy Kulik in conversation with focus, states the following: "We all need to be clearly aware that there are open and closed agreements on which Ukraine receives the help of the Allies. Therefore, it is likely to be part of the conditions of use The weapons in the war. The methods of it to lead it, instead they will only provide recommendations.
" According to the expert, given the fact that the US is currently taking place in the US, "any actions that can be regarded as those that can be used by political opponents of the current US administration against it, the White House is considered and commented on caution. " "Actually, we heard from Lloyd Austin that, saying, Ukraine should not strike Russian refineries. Russian aggression.
Emphasizing that the current ruling in Washington, the team is in the status of a "lame duck", the expert states: "Therefore, we have to listen to all these statements, to agree with their anxiety, but to act at our own discretion, starting from the real situation on the fronts.
" Meanwhile, as Vitaliy Kulik notes, Ukraine's significant help from the United States is not worth expecting: "Politologists close to the Republican Party we communicate with, say that Trump's headquarters are not able For Ukraine, it will not be touched by the announcement of the election of the US President.
Former People's Deputy, expert of the Ukrainian Institute of Future Igor Popov, commenting on the focus of Lloyd Austin's statement that Ukraine should not attack Russian refineries, the following notes: (Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service - Ed. ) And Bjorns (CIA Head - Ed. ), Which discussed issues that the Russian Federation is planned against UKRANA. To be used in the Russian territory. On the territory of the Russian Federation, Ukraine is of course indignant.
" In the current situation, according to Igor Popov, the issue of attacks or not attacks by Ukraine on Russian oil refineries can be the subject of closed negotiations between Kiev and Washington. "I think it can be that we, for example, give 100 ATACams, which we can beat exclusively in our occupied territory. In short, different combinations can be heard.
However, when we now hear some requirements where to beat and where - Not without a compensator and even against the background of delaying assistance, it is quite rightly indignant at Ukraine and its citizens, "says Igor Popov. The expert is convinced that the "competitive" election campaign in the United States will continue to influence the actions of both the US administration and the opposition there.
"The vast majority of energy experts are inclined to the fact that at the time of the first strikes of Ukraine on Russian refineries there was only a slight correction of the world oil price, which then leveled, since the products of these RosnPZ occupy a miserable share in world circulation and cannot dramatically raise prices There are probably other reasons on the US gas station. spheres, " - summarizes Igor Popov.
Indeed, energy experts in the issue of so -called US wishes to ensure that Ukraine does not attack the Russian refinery see the political mark. Yes, the president of the Center of Global Studies "XXI" Michael Gonchar states the following: "There is no need to speak of the absurdity and worthlessness of the American approach. But do not rush to throw stones in Austin.
" Emphasis on the fact that the Russian Federation is currently fulfilling a variety of configurations to resolve the issue of termination of Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, Mr. Honchar in his Facebook lay out literally by atoms of the formula of how the Russian Federation can influence in this sense on the higher management of the United States and He notes that the red lines of Washington for Kiev are currently turning into green light for the Kremlin.
