Burns, who had been the US ambassador to Russia, flew to Moscow in 2021 to try to stop the Kremlin regime from invading Ukraine.
Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin is a proponent of control and intimidation, he views his surroundings with deep suspicion and is always looking for weaknesses he can exploit. The director of the US Central Intelligence Agency, William Burns, who will leave his post after the inauguration of US President Donald Trump, said this on Friday, January 10, in an interview with NPR.
According to Burns, the new US presidential administration should give Ukraine enough leverage to ensure that possible peace negotiations do not take place on Putin’s terms.
“We have to continue to make Russia lose so that Putin understands that time is not necessarily on his side, which is what he believes now,” Burns said.
It will be remembered that US President-elect Donald Trump will appoint John Ratcliffe as director of the CIA. He headed US national intelligence during the first Trump administration from May 26, 2020 to January 20, 2021. Previously, he was a member of the US House of Representatives.
