Pravda: U.S. Is Pushing For War With Russia In Ukraine


USA is pushing Russia into another war with Ukraine



Another round of tensions in Ukraine-Russia relations has raised many discussions about another war in the southeast of Ukraine. Both Russia and Ukraine have been increasing their military presence on the border between the two countries lately. Russia warned Ukraine against any military scenarios.

Ukraine plans to hold the Cossack Bulava military exercises, in which more than 1,000 servicemen from at least five NATO countries are to take part. The war games will be conducted to train military skills in repelling the attack of the aggressor country and going on the offensive. In response, Russia redeployed several of its military units closer to its southwestern borders.

Such a development cannot but raise concerns in the West. In particular, US State Department Special Representative Ned Price said on April 6 at a press briefing that Russia was provoking Ukraineю He also added that the United States would fully support Kiev in the face of "Russian pressure and aggression."

USA's full support subsequently materialised in the announcement of an opportunity to send warships to the Black Sea to support the groups already deployed in the region.

Noteworthy, a couple of weeks ago, the United States conducted "defensively offensive" naval exercises in the Black Sea.

The Pentagon "did not officially confirm" (it did not deny either) the information about the departure of warships to the Black Sea. One shall assume that US military officials wanted to intimidate Russia and see how the Russian administration was going to react.

According to Putin's official spokesman Dmitry Peskov, "the Ukrainians flatly reject the idea of ​​any dialogue," but expressed a hope that the crisis would not escalate to the point of hostilities.


The United States started evincing more interest in the situation after Russia did not withdraw its troops from the above-mentioned regions on March 23.

The status of US forces at European bases was therefore changed from the category of "possible crisis" to "potential imminent crisis".

The Americans claimed that the information about the location of the Russian troops did not coincide with the declared one. Peskov reminded that the movement of the Russian army on the territory of the Russian Federation was part of Russian internal affairs.
