US assistance will allow Ukraine to "stay in the game" and not win in the war - the Secretary of the NSDC

According to Oleksandr Litvinenko, the rejection of any territories of Ukraine in exchange for a ghostly peace will be a "cruel betrayal" of Ukrainians who will remain under the occupation of the aggressor state.

In his first interview for foreign media, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense (NSDC) Oleksandr Litvinenko first of all drew journalists' attention to how important the current help of the United States and allies for Ukraine is, and that with a "avid liar" is impossible What to negotiate. About it writes April 15 British The Economist. Litvinenko stressed that this week, the US Congress may start signing military assistance packages. And not only Ukraine, but also Israel, Taiwan.

However, according to the NSDC Secretary, if it is really realized, then Ukraine will be given exactly so much that "it remains in the game, not won in the war. " According to the secretary, this is emphasized, since the US administration is concerned about escalation and global consequences that can lead to the consequences of war in Ukraine. However, Litvinenko says, the victory of Ukraine will reduce, not increase the risk of confrontation.

"Leaders will avoid risk," he stressed, referring to the leaders of totalitarian and autocratic countries. But if Ukraine loses, according to the Secretary of the NSDC, it will become a catalyst for such countries in their further aggressive and aggressive plans that will develop on the principle of domino - China, Taiwan, etc. "If aggression once works, everyone thinks about trying. Too many people watch this war too carefully," Litvinenko explained.

The head of national security is convinced that Russian leader Vladimir Putin did not depart from his plans to "destroy Ukrainian statehood and turn Ukraine into a buffer zone. " This is evidenced, in particular, by the calls of the Russian Orthodox Church for the "Holy War", which in fact enables the dictator to call legitimate objects of critical infrastructure of Ukraine, which he methodically destroys. "It is very important to understand that Putinism has not yet completed its evolution.

Everything may become worse. If the event does not stop it, he will then have to pay more, and his own life. Helping Ukraine is not charity," Litvinenko stated. He added that the transfer of any territories of Ukraine in exchange for a ghostly peace will be a "cruel betrayal" of Ukrainians who will remain under the occupation of the aggressor state. "Even more innocent people will be killed, even more thrown into the basements," Litvinenko stressed.

In addition, according to the NSDC Secretary, there is a more pragmatic reason to reject proposals for peace talks and to really help Ukraine. Litvinenko believes that any agreement with Putin means one thing: he will pause, regroups, will be armed and a new hike to Ukraine will start, as it is obsessed with it. "The next time he will not make mistakes, but will prepare his operation much more carefully, under all the laws of martial arts," - said Litvinenko.

He added that in the minds of the Russians victory over Ukraine is not only the so -called "return of land". This is first and foremost a victory over the United States, which is why the cooperation of the Ukrainian and American authorities is so important, even "no matter who is in power.
