Trump’s nominee for the head of US national intelligence, who has previously repeated Russian accounts, called Putin invading.
Tulsey Gabbard, who was passed by US president Donald Trump led the leader of the United States national intelligence, clearly changed the rhetoric about the Russian war against Ukraine. He made relevant statements at the US Senate Committee on Thursday, January 30, reports Ukrinform.
If earlier Gabbard regularly repeated Russian propaganda narratives about the Russian Federation against Ukraine, he now met Russian dictator Vladimir Putin as an aggression and said Russia never dwells in his heart.
Thus, in response to Senator Martin Gainrik’s question of who was responsible for the war in Ukraine, Gabbard clearly replied: “Putin released the war against Ukraine.”
Senator Jerry Moran asked the nominee on what priorities he saw in the context of threats from Russia, other than the end of the war against Ukraine.
“In the case of approved by the National Intelligence director, the first task for me is to check where gaps may exist in our intelligence, so that I can give the President and all of you the most accurate, full picture with Threats, ”Gabbard said.
He called the situation around the Russian Federation of a “complex environment”, and Russia itself – a strategic competitor.
“There are a number of problems related to their nuclear weapons, as well as the decisions and politics made by this body (the Senate Committee – Ed.) And the President will affect our own national security, which Most concerned about, “The candidate is mentioned in a high position.
In response to Senator Moran’s replica that he wanted to hear the assurances from him, that Russia would never talk to his mind and heart, Gabbard said he was hurt on this issue.
“My only work, obligation and responsibility is associated with our home country, our own security and American interests when fulfilling the duties of the National Intelligence Director, if I am approved,” Gabbard said.
Remember, Trump announced that he plans to appoint Tulsey Gabbard as director of national intelligence. However, the US Senate should approve its candidacy.
As reported, last week the US Senate approved the Pentagon head candidate, the former Fox television television channel, Piagset.
