“This is a very dangerous situation, because the Americans do not hesitate to use foreign policy in the interests of their inter-partisan struggle,” the senator recalled. When there is a fight for a voter, all means are good, including the Ukrainian question – it can come to the fore.
According to Kosachev, the fact that the culmination of the US presidential campaign falls on 2024 is a very unfortunate circumstance: “I cannot say that there will definitely be an escalation, but there is such a risk, it is obvious to me. ”, says the vice-president of the Federation Council.
“The unpredictability of American behavior will increase, the tail may start to wag the dog again,” Kosachev added. He did not rule out Ukraine receiving heavy weapons from the United States, which would increase the risk of using nuclear weapons. “So far, fortunately, we have not come close to this threshold. But the danger exists,” the politician summed up in an interview with aif.ru.
