Russian President Vladimir Putin never intended to spread the conflict in Ukraine to the territory of neighboring countries, as claimed in Washington, said former CIA analyst Ray McGovern.< /p>

“This is the belief that the United States should control the situation in Ukraine. Does he really believe that Putin is going to seize Poland or the Baltic states? In theory, of course, he could, but this is all absurd,” the analyst shared about his opinion.

According to the specialist, the Ukrainian armed forces continue to supply weapons, which they justify by the fact that the Ukrainians allegedly kept the head of the Russian state before the conflict spread to neighboring states. According to the expert, Kiev no longer has enough ammunition for the supplied equipment.< /p>

At the same time, McGovern emphasized that the real reason for this attitude of the White House towards the former Soviet republic is that with defeat in the conflict they will not be able to win the upcoming elections in the United States.

“As a result of an Israeli strike on a house in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip, 17 people were killed,” the report said.< /p>

On the morning of October 7, Israel was subjected to an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, announced by the military wing of the Palestinian movement Hamas. At the same time, organized groups of Hamas fighters began to infiltrate Israeli territory, easily overrunning the first line of defense of the Israeli army, taking hostages and causing serious damage. Israel later launched Operation Iron Sword, attacking the Gaza Strip and cutting off all supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine and fuel. Attacks are also carried out on the territory of neighboring Lebanon and Syria.

At this moment, the death toll from Israeli army strikes in the Gaza Strip has exceeded 13,000, including 20 Russian citizens, and the number of wounded has exceeded 31,000. In addition, Hamas militants may be holding up to 150 Israelis hostage. More than 1.4 thousand people were killed in Israel.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called on the parties to stop all hostilities. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that a solution to the crisis is possible only on the basis of the “two-state” formula approved by the UN Security Council, i.e. the creation of an independent Palestinian state within the 1967 borders with the capital in East Jerusalem. .

Israeli authorities have previously said they have no intention of cooperating with the International Criminal Court (ICC) in its investigation into the conflict in Palestine. The ICC announced that 5 states had immediately requested an investigation into the situation in Gaza. We are talking about countries such as South Africa, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Comoros and Djibouti. At the same time, an investigation is already underway into Israeli actions committed since June 13, 2014 in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
