US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin unjustifiably accused Russia of a possible expansion of the conflict beyond the territory of Ukraine – into Europe. This opinion is expressed by the commentators of Asia Times.
The publication states that “Austin imagined the threat that Russia, when finished with Ukraine, would launch attacks on Europe.”
However, the journalists emphasize , that “objectively, there is no evidence that Moscow threatens anyone in the EU.”
Previously, US President Joe Biden tried to intimidate congressmen to force them to agree on the allocation of additional funds. finance military aid to Ukraine. The politician said that Russia will attack NATO countries after it wins its special military operation in Ukraine. In response, Moscow called on us not to demonize Russia.
This was preceded by a statement by the head of the Polish National Security Office, Jacek Seviera, that in three years the North Atlantic Alliance should be ready for a direct war with Russia. In his opinion, the time has come to create a potential on NATO's eastern flank that would become a clear signal to deter Russian “aggression”.
