The question on many people’s lips is what is the real story with the Russian/Ukraine situation and what is Joe Biden’s intent?
It truly does not make any sense considering that our southern border is the issue in our nation at the moment, right?
Why do we need to be focused on Russia and Ukraine at this time?
Well, now we may have some idea of what the goal is thanks to Defense Secretary of State Lloyd Austin and his loose lips.
This past Monday, Austin said that one of the aims of the U.S. response to the Ukraine issue is to diminish Russia’s ability to carry out future military acts like the now three-month-old invasion of Ukraine.
Interesting.
The statement was issued in Poland where Mr. Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken landed early Monday after traveling by rail to Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, Mr. Austin told reporters: “We want to see Russia degraded to the degree that it cannot do the types of things that it has done in invading Ukraine.”
The trip, the highest-ranking visit to Ukraine by a U.S. team since the Russian incursion began, required a high level of security. Late Sunday night, after Vice President Biden’s aides had met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the White House refused to release specifics of their trip.
Upon returning to Poland, Blinken said, “We rode a train into Kyiv from southwest Poland, so [we] didn’t see a lot besides staring out the train windows on our way in.” Our first stop was the presidential palace in the city of Kyiv. We met with President Zelenskyy and his senior staff for almost three hours. The main purpose of our visit was to see this.”
“We were able to show our strong support for the government of Ukraine and the people of Ukraine in person,” Mr. Blinken said. We thought this was a good time to be there and have detailed face-to-face talks with each other.
A lot of time was spent talking to Mr. Zelenskyy about “President Biden’s plan to nominate Ambassador Bridget Brink as a new ambassador to Ukraine,” said the man.
“When it comes to Russia’s goals for the war, they aren’t working out.” It looks like Ukraine is doing well, the secretary of state told us. As its main goal, Russia has tried to completely rule over Ukraine. It has tried to get rid of Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence. That hasn’t worked.
