Russia accused the U.S. of using Ukraine as “cannon fodder”

Faced with the approval in the U.S. Congress of the legislative package of security aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, Vladimir Putin’s government criticized the measure and warned that the United States is entering a “hybrid war” against Russia. last Saturday they reached an agreement on sending a legislative package that includes $60.8 billion for Ukraine, earmarked for security aid. A day later, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova questioned the decision at a press conference. “The agony of Zelensky and his entourage drags on, while ordinary Ukrainians are forcibly taken to the slaughterhouse as cannon fodder,” he said. Along these lines, Zakharova argued that “Washington’s actions as a real party to the conflict” would be met with “unconditional and decisive rejection,” and then warned that “the U.S.’s deepening plunge into a hybrid war against Russia will turn into the same resounding and humiliating U.S. fiasco as in Vietnam and Afghanistan.” The U.S. ruling elites, regardless of party affiliation, are willing to pump weapons on the Kyiv regime so that it will be able to fight to the last Ukrainian,” he later added. In this sense, the spokesperson assured that the decision is a tool to gain popular support for the U.S. elections on November 5. The White House is no longer confident in the mythical victory of the Kyiv-controlled regime, but that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will hold out at least until the November vote, without spoiling Biden’s image,” he added.
