Ukrainian troops did not take positions along the entirety of border with Russia and Belarus: instead, the force was deployed in direction of Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. (https://iz.ru/1257965/2021-12-01/v-lnr-podtverdili-dannye-o-125-tys-voennykh-ukrainy-v-donbasse)

The USA delivered a shipment of military cargo, including ammunition, weighing close to 200.000 pounds of lethal aid to Ukraine, as described by US Embassy in Kiev on 22 Jan 2022. (https://tass.com/world/1391809)

 A thousandfold increase in ceasefire violations in comparison to previous years of Ukrainian conflict (2014-2021) was detected by the OSCE in late 2021 and early 2022. (https://telegra.ph/Graph-03-16Civilian)

Evacuation had to be announced by the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics. (https://rt.com/russia/549874-breakaway-ukrainian-region-evacuation/)

In an interview with the German daily Der Spiegel, published on February 9, 2023, Zelensky made it clear that he intentionally chose to sabotage the Minsk agreements. (https://spiegel.de/ausland/wolodymyr-selenskyj-im-interview-putin-ist-ein-drache-der-fressen-muss-a-458b7fe2-e15a-49a9-a38e-4bfba834f27b) (https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2023/02/10/ukraine-zelensky-minsk-peace-russia/)

The Ukrainian leader complained that the Minsk agreements were an unacceptable “concession”.

“Procrastination is perfectly fine in diplomacy”, Zelensky said, explaining that he only “jumped on the train” and pretended to support Minsk in order to negotiate a prisoner swap with Russia – and give his country more time to prepare for war.

Merkel herself confirmed this in December 2022, in an interview with the newspaper Die Zeit.

The former German leader stated that the “2014 Minsk agreement was an attempt to buy time for Ukraine. Ukraine used this time to become stronger” (https://tass.com/politics/1547779)

Ukraine was warned by President Putin’s deputy chief of staff Dmitry Kozak of RETALIATION TO PROTECT Russian-speaking people of Ukraine if Kiev engages in an assault against them.

“I support those assessments that exist within Ukraine that the start of hostilities is the beginning of the end for the country. This is a self-inflicted shot, a shot not in the leg, but in the temple,” Kozak said on 8th of April, 2021. (https://rt.com/russia/520490-zelensky-war-donbass-putin-aide/)

Ukraine Is a Tool for the West to Bring Down Russia” — Ex-US Intel Officer Scott Ritter

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmdelSqPrLE)

In this interview, former U.S. Marine intelligence officer Scott Ritter shares his controversial perspective on the war in Ukraine. He discusses why he believes Ukraine is being used by the West to weaken Russia, and how history, geopolitics, and intelligence shape the current conflict. Ritter also addresses criticism over his appearances on Russian state media and says he doesn’t take money for them.

Transkripzioa:

0:01

scottita former US Marine Corpse

0:03

intelligence officer welcome to TV Rain

0:06

to start with I’d like to ask you a

0:08

question about the war in Ukraine i’ve

0:10

watched many of your videos and

0:12

commentaries and in particular you’ve

0:14

said Ukraine is Russia i saw this on

0:17

Twitter or rather on the social platform

0:20

X do you actually believe this statement

0:23

and what is it based on first of all

0:25

it’s a I think you’re you’re

0:28

cherry-picking a uh a comment that was

0:30

made um in the context of a larger uh

0:34

discussion about um the strategic

0:38

direction that Ukraine

0:41

um should be following um in terms of

0:44

history and uh right now inside Ukraine

0:47

there seems to be a a struggle between

0:51

those who are promoting a um sort of a

0:54

pro- European Union approach meaning

0:57

that Ukraine should be part of Europe

0:59

and so the slogan is Ukraine is Europe

1:03

and what I am responding to is the fact

1:06

that historically

1:08

uh Ukraine is more Russia than Europe

1:12

and that when one speaks about the

1:15

strategic direction Ukraine

1:18

uh in my assessment should be following

1:20

if it wants to achieve um political

1:24

economic stability uh that direction

1:27

goes through Russia ukraine has been a

1:30

part of Russia ukraine has been

1:33

affiliated with Russia during the Soviet

1:35

Union and Ukraine has always had very

1:37

close ties with Russia um and the this

1:42

new embrace of the European Union is u

1:44

in my opinion an artificial construct uh

1:47

that has been forced upon the Ukrainians

1:51

by a collective western uh power

1:55

structure that doesn’t seek to bring

1:58

Ukraine in as a friend but rather use

2:00

Ukraine as a tool to bring down Russia

2:03

so from that perspective Ukraine is more

2:06

Russia than it is Europe

2:09

let me clarify again this is a quote

2:11

from X you wrote it in response to Gary

2:14

Kasparov Russian politician it’s not

2:15

taken out of context it is a short full

2:18

comment and I’ve quoted it entirely but

2:21

when you talk about Ukraine’s future and

2:23

the direction it should take I don’t

2:25

hear you mention the choice of the

2:27

Ukrainian people

2:31

themselves you don’t deny Ukraine

2:33

statehood do you if the Ukrainian people

2:35

want to move towards Europe why do you

2:38

think they owe anything to anyone

2:41

of course Ukraine is a sovereign state

2:43

and if the people of Ukraine

2:45

legitimately manifest uh their will uh

2:49

to say that uh Europe is their future

2:52

not Russia then um who am I or who is

2:55

anybody to stand in their way uh but I

2:58

think we know that the history is uh far

3:00

more complex than that we know that the

3:02

CIA has been working with Ukrainian

3:05

nationalists to undermine um the Soviet

3:09

Union and later Russia this has been

3:11

ongoing since 1946 it’s not a matter of

3:14

debate you’re a journalist you know this

3:15

you know what the CIA has done you know

3:18

its relationships with the Organization

3:20

of Ukrainian National where do we know

3:21

it from well the CIA itself has

3:24

acknowledged this they have declassified

3:25

documentation that uh that proves this

3:28

we have an entire structure here in the

3:30

United States the Ukrainian Congress uh

3:34

the history of which is linked to the

3:35

Banderas who seized control of the

3:37

Ukrainian Congress in 1980 through the

3:39

liberation front again a front funded by

3:42

the CIA this is common knowledge um and

3:45

it’s the documentation of this is is

3:48

available and the reason why I bring

3:49

this up is to point out that uh outside

3:53

interests not Ukrainian interests

3:55

outside interests have been conspiring

3:58

um for some time now to disassociate

4:00

Ukraine from Russia we saw this with the

4:04

orange revolution in 2004 2005 which

4:07

unconstitutionally removed Victor

4:09

Yanukovic replaced him with Ukrainian

4:11

nationalist government uh but was unable

4:14

to suppress the will of the Russian

4:17

population or the Russian sympathetic

4:19

population which re reelected Victor

4:21

Yanukovich in 2010 leading to the 2014

4:25

Maidon event uh Ukrainians call this a

4:28

revolution the revolution of dignity

4:31

other people such as myself call it what

4:33

it is a CIA sponsored coup d’eta to

4:36

remove Victor Yanukovic and then using

4:38

the actual violence to suppress the

4:42

ability of the Russian people to stand

4:44

up and say we don’t want to be part of

4:47

the European Union so the idea that the

4:49

Ukrainian people have said collectively

4:53

we want to be part of Europe I think is

4:56

a misrepresentation of fact it’s much

4:58

more nuanced than that i would believe

5:01

in a system that uh void of outside

5:06

interference from either the West or

5:08

Russia allowed the Ukrainian people to

5:10

make this decision by themselves but so

5:13

far that uh that scenario hasn’t been

5:16

manifested the CIA has been heavily

5:19

invested in pursuing Ukrainian

5:22

nationalism as a vector to remove

5:24

Russian influence in Ukraine for decades

5:28

i understand your position it aligns

5:30

entirely with what representatives of

5:32

the Russian state say and radically

5:34

diverges from what Ukrainian citizens

5:36

say these are people who actually go to

5:39

elections and vote democratically for

5:41

their leaders but let’s not dive into

5:43

history that conversation would take too

5:45

long and unfortunately neither of us

5:47

have several

5:49

hours what I would like to understand is

5:52

where does your confidence in Russia’s

5:54

invincibility come from Mr

5:56

in a recent interview you said that

5:58

Trump’s only trump card is to

6:00

acknowledge America’s defeat i hope I’m

6:02

not quoting out of context and you meant

6:05

defeat in the war in Ukraine where does

6:08

this belief come from that Russia is the

6:10

most powerful or one of the most

6:12

powerful global players

6:16

because it is i mean it’s a statement of

6:18

fact not an assessment um you know

6:21

General Kavoli who’s a four-star general

6:23

United States Army active duty has made

6:26

similar comments about um the the state

6:29

of the Russian military that it’s

6:31

getting stronger not weaker uh that it’s

6:33

able to mobilize manpower quicker than

6:36

its NATO counterparts that it’s able to

6:39

its defense industry is better

6:41

positioned to replace i understand i

6:44

apologize for interrupting you Mr but

6:46

why hasn’t the Russian army in three

6:48

years taken the cities it intended to

6:51

kiev Odessa Kharkiv and others cities

6:54

that Putin clearly claimed but was

6:56

unable to seize

6:58

you know it’s curious you keep bringing

7:00

up the three-day uh point um I’m guilty

7:03

of saying that Russia was going to

7:05

accomplish I never said three days you

7:07

literally just said three days uh that

7:10

How can I explain that i said three

7:12

years in the three years since the war

7:15

began the Russian army has not been able

7:17

to take the Ukrainian cities it was

7:18

aiming for the ones Putin counted on let

7:22

me let me let me ask you i know you’re

7:25

the interviewer but I’ll just ask a

7:27

question when has Russia the Russian

7:29

government said our golden objectives

7:32

are to take Karkov Odessa and Kiev find

7:36

me one Russian government statement that

7:38

says that numerous government officials

7:41

have said this i can find you a million

7:43

quotes honestly I

7:45

promise even as I was preparing for this

7:48

interview I came across several

7:49

statements by participants in Russian

7:51

political talk shows who said it

7:53

outright that they should capture major

7:55

Ukrainian

7:59

cities for example an official one of

8:03

the highest ranking as you know former

8:05

president of Russia formerly he also

8:07

said that Odessa is a Russian city and

8:09

so on these things are being said

8:11

constantly

8:12

[Music]

8:14

i I I I think Vladimir I think Vladimir

8:16

Putin has said that Russia is is that

8:18

Odessa is a Russian city and I think

8:21

many Russians would say historically

8:22

that’s an accurate statement but talking

8:25

about the historical roots of Adessa and

8:28

saying that it’s a uh a Russian military

8:30

objective are two totally different

8:32

things um the the Russians and and you

8:36

know this you you you say you prepared

8:38

for this interview so let me tell you

8:39

what the facts are then russia initiated

8:42

a special military operation on 22

8:45

February 2022 or 24 February perhaps um

8:50

the goals of which were to get Ukraine

8:52

to the negotiating table that were that

8:55

are the goals of the special military

8:57

operation and Russia succeeded within

8:59

six days of initiating this um military

9:03

operation ukraine began negotiating in

9:06

the city of GMO three rounds before it

9:08

transitioned to Turkey and by the end of

9:10

March Russia and Ukraine had agreed to

9:13

what’s known as the Istanbul communique

9:15

which would have brought an end to this

9:17

conflict at that point in time Russia

9:20

was saying that it was going to withdraw

9:21

from the territories that had been

9:23

occupied because the goals were never to

9:25

occupy Ukrainian territory but rather

9:27

bring an end to the conflict which

9:29

Ukraine was unwilling to do through the

9:31

Minsk Accords these are statements of

9:33

fact ukraine buckled under pressure by

9:36

the west throughout the the Istanbul

9:39

commun and made the decision to move

9:40

forward with the conflict compelling

9:43

Russia to move into phase two then phase

9:45

three and today what we have is Russia

9:47

engaged in a war of attrition against

9:50

Ukraine designed to defeat not just the

9:52

Ukrainian military but the collective

9:54

west the Ukrainians themselves

9:56

acknowledge that they are merely a proxy

9:59

for the collective west for NATO for the

10:01

European Union for the United States

10:03

this is a broader war than the one that

10:05

you that you speak of um Senator Mr you

10:09

are a frequent guest on Russian state

10:11

media some would say that associating

10:13

with propaganda harms your reputation

10:15

does it bother you that for example

10:17

Vladimir Soliv regularly lies on air

10:20

spreads disinformation and falsehoods

10:22

does that concern you vladimir Solivv is

10:26

um is his own man and he’s responsible

10:28

for his own words i was asked to take

10:30

part in the shows up you asked me to

10:32

take part in your show does it bother

10:34

you that many Russians believe that

10:36

you’re a pro nibali outlet that uh

10:38

conspires against the legitimacy of the

10:40

Putin regime should I deny and say I

10:44

won’t be on your show because people

10:45

speak ill of you you asked me to be here

10:49

i’m here because I respect you as a

10:50

journalist um other people ask me to

10:53

appear on programs as an

10:56

editor being let’s say pro- Western

10:59

doesn’t mean lying on air calling for

11:02

the destruction of Ukrainian cities or

11:04

spreading false information even about

11:06

me

11:07

personally believe me I’m absolutely

11:09

don’t mean to interrupt you but I’m

11:11

short on time i genuinely want to

11:13

understand your

11:14

motivation take Vladimir Solivio for

11:16

example or other hosts like Olga Caba

11:19

they spread lies from the first word to

11:21

the last about people like me declare us

11:24

enemies of the state forced us out of

11:26

the country we are citizens

11:31

of they support and fuel this war what

11:34

is your attitude toward that why doesn’t

11:36

that bother you there is a clear

11:38

difference between what I do and what

11:40

they do

11:42

you have your position and I respect it

11:45

they have their position and it’s their

11:47

position i’m invited on programs as an

11:51

expert i am accountable for my words and

11:54

my words alone um I’ve been invited on

11:57

Iranian TV that doesn’t mean that I buy

11:59

into death to America chanting from the

12:02

Iranian people i’ve been invited to

12:04

speak on Yemen TV that doesn’t mean that

12:06

I support the Yemeni operations uh in

12:09

the Red Sea i’ve spoken on Israeli TV

12:11

Palestinian TV Hezbollah TV French TV

12:14

German TV Italian TV i’ve spoken on

12:17

American outlets where the people invite

12:20

me because they want to know what I have

12:22

to think i go on because I feel that my

12:26

voice if they’ve invited me my voice

12:28

should contribute to a larger discussion

12:31

but I am not to be held accountable for

12:35

the uh opinions of anybody who invites

12:39

me on whether it be your opinions that

12:41

some people have been critical of or for

12:43

instance the opinions of Mr of you who

12:45

you

12:47

are to finish if I may and I don’t want

12:50

you to see this as an insult but I can’t

12:53

avoid asking this question because many

12:55

people are

12:56

curious when you appear on Russian state

12:59

TV or other shows do you receive payment

13:01

for this appearances

13:04

i receive as much money from the Russian

13:06

government as I receive from you i’m not

13:09

talking about the Russian state per se i

13:11

mean specifically shows on RT Cell of

13:13

Your Life Russia One and others do they

13:15

pay you for your participation in those

13:18

broadcasts well I have to get a better

13:20

agent because I get no money i’ve never

13:22

asked for money they’ve never offered me

13:24

money nor would I take money to appear

13:26

on i am an independent analyst and when

13:30

I’m asked to come on a show and talk

13:31

about issues such as your show I was

13:34

requested to come on here i do so freely

13:36
