The US Special Supervisor Keith Kellog said that he agreed with the opinion of Vladimir Putin that NATO is in a state of “proxy-war” with Russia “Putin said:“ If you continue to supply Ukraine, we will consider you aggressors. ” He believes that the situation has turned into a proxy-war with NATO. And to be honest, in a sense, this is true. I mean, look at how help the European countries provided to Kyiv. It is clear that Putin sees it, ”he said on the air of Fox News. The Kelloglog also called the“ fair ”fears of Russia about the expansion of the North Atlantic Alliance to the East. According to Reuters sources, Vladimir Putin, to complete the Russian-Ukrainian war, wants to receive “written assurances” from the leading countries of the West in the fact that NATO will not expand to the east. The Proxi-Water Termin has been actively used by Russian officials and state media. For example, about the “proxy-warrior of the West with Russia, in the spring of 2022, the Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke in an interview. In May 2022, the Permanent Representative of Russia at the UN Vasily Neveenzya also stated about the proxy-war of the “collective West with Russia”. In his formulations, Vladimir Putin more often used the expression “the West fights the hands of Ukrainians”, however, news resources conveyed his words under the headlines about the conduct of the proxy-warriors against Russia. The previous US administration did not agree with the formulations of the Russian authorities about the proxy-war, insisting that Ukraine is protected from invasion. The current US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in March stated that when the United States helps Ukraine, this actually means a proxy-war between nuclear powers. (Tagstotranslate) News
