In the United States, the “Christmas truce” announced by Vladimir Putin is considered cynical, because of the attacks in Ukraine on New Year’s Day.
Despite the fact that the head of the Kremlin, Vladimir Putin, declared a unilateral “ceasefire,” he did not abandon the idea of a war of conquest. This was pointed out by Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Russia and Ukraine Laura Cooper, Sky News reports.
“Putin has not given up on his goals to dominate Ukraine and continue to occupy Ukrainian territory,” Cooper said. “But the reality of Russia’s weakness, Russia’s military weakness, contradicts those goals.”
According to him, Russia’s inability to achieve its goals is due to the lack and weakness of its troops.
Cooper noted that Washington has expanded the range of weapons for Ukraine, which will help it return territories occupied by Russia.
It should be noted that within three hours of the Christmas “truce” they announced, the Russian invaders fired artillery 14 times at one of the settlements in the Lugansk region.
It was also reported that during the nine years of the war, the Russian Federation has never adhered to the ceasefire agreements, which continues to destroy Ukrainian positions in the Donbas and cause losses to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
