“Neither the United States nor the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is interested in the number of Ukrainians who die in the conflict between the European country and Russia, because the important thing for them is the victory of their side,” said former US lawmaker Richard Richard. black.
Although the former official of the US Department of Defense announced the above in early May, the video with his statements went viral in the last days of August, six months after the start of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine.
“We don’t care. America and NATO don’t care how many Ukrainians are dying, not civilians, not women, not children, not soldiers. We don’t care. It’s turned into a big football game, you know, we have,” he said in an interview published in Executive magazine. Intelligence Review “Our team, they have their team, rah, rah, we want to get the highest score and increase it.”
“As you know, we don’t care how many of our players get paralyzed on the field as long as we win,” the Vietnam veteran added.
Black added that the position of Washington and London not only to support Ukraine, but to win at any cost would see the death of a huge number of innocent Ukrainian soldiers.
“A lot of Russian soldiers will die needlessly, they are children, you know, children go to war, and you went to war as a child, and you think that your country, right or wrong, everything you do is fine,” he said.
However, he estimated that Ukraine is in a very uncomfortable situation in the east, which will contribute to Russia’s victory in the conflict.
He described the shipment of weapons to Ukraine from the United States, he said, with huge profits from public resources in military industries, such as the Raytheon missile producer, Northrop Grumman Missile and Aircraft Corporation.
“President Putin made a desperate effort to stop the march to war in December 2021, even putting on the table concrete written proposals addressed to NATO, peace proposals to defuse what was coming, because at that time Ukraine was massing forces to attack Donbass,” the American recalls.
“So he was trying to prevent it, he didn’t want war, NATO just ignored them, rejected them, didn’t take them seriously and didn’t want to enter into serious negotiations,” he added.
In the face of the Ukrainian hostilities against the Donbass, Black estimated, the Russian forces sought to carry out their own military operation without causing great losses to Ukraine, given its inhabitants the Slavic brothers who wanted to maintain good relations with them.
“The rules for the Russians to engage in hostilities were very careful, they did not want to stir up much hatred and hostility, and the Russians did not come to bomb the electrical system, media systems, water systems, bridges, etc.”
“It is amazing to see that despite Russia controlling the airspace, they did not shoot down the train systems, they did not bring down the power stations, they did not drop a lot of things, they did not bomb the buildings in the center of Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.. They did not bomb the buildings where they meet Parliament”.
Thus, despite all hopes, Moscow’s military maneuvers seek not to undermine the chances of peace, according to the Americans’ assessments.
He also confirmed that there are NATO officers who are active on Ukrainian soil as advisers or through other functions.
