"Very difficult": US officials could not call Russia an aggressor in Ukraine

To spread: Michael Volt, President of National Security Advisor, called Donald Trump a "commander -in -chief", who drives the process of peaceful negotiations solely because of his strength. The head of the Ministry of Defense Pete Hegset could not clearly confirm that the invasion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in 2022 was not triggered. US Presidential Advisor Michael Volt and US Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegset, failed to call Russia an aggressor in Ukraine.

This was reported on February 23 at Bloomberg with reference to their television interviews. "My question is whether all these searches of the guilty and the perpetration that they are concerned are making peace more likely," Hegset said on Fox News. He acknowledged that there was an "invasion of Ukraine", but did not name Russia as an aggressor. Asked if the Russian Federation was attacked in 2022 without provocations, the US minister could not give an unambiguous answer.

"It is fair to say that this is a very difficult situation," he said. When Volz was asked to recognize Russia as an aggressor, he began to compare US President Donald Trump with his predecessor Joe Biden. He stressed that the Republican is the "chief participant of the agreements". "He is the commander -in -chief. And it was only through his power that we were in this situation," the adviser said.

We will remind, on The Telegraph on February 21 it was informed that the White House refused to sign a statement G7 to the third anniversary of a full -scale invasion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, in which Russia was called the aggressor. Also, according to the media, the United States refuses to co -author the UN statement on support of Ukraine's integrity demanding the withdrawal of Russian troops from its territory.
