Putin Ally Can't Even Explain Own Bizarre Theory About West's Ongoing Support For Ukraine

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria ZakharovaA senior figure within Vladimir Putin’s government has once again been pushing the Kremlin’s conspiracy theories about the West – but this time, she could not even explain the logic behind them.The Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova claimed the West is “not interested” in its own citizens and instead wants to “escalate” the Ukraine war on Wednesday.According to Russian state news agency TASS, she said: “They are not interested in the lives of their own people, the development of the economy, solving problems that are on the agenda of both the European continent and the whole world.“They are interested in the escalation of the conflict and the continued use of the Kyiv regime and Ukraine for their own interests.”She then added: “But what are these goals? It’s a good question to ask them.“All this testifies to the aggressive attitude of the western European allies of the Kyiv regime, their maniacal desire to escalate the conflict at any price.”According to Zakharova, it’s clear that the European Commission’s €150bn rearmament programme is “direct proof” they want to take the war to the next level.The Kremlin spokesperson is overlooking that the west has actually tried to avoid being drawn directly into conflict with Russia for the last three years.European allies have been investing and arming Ukraine to try and halt Putin’s land grab encroaching further into the continent.Russia currently controls 18% of Ukrainian territory and has so far refused to agree to any long-term ceasefire deals.The war could also end if Putin decided to pull his troops out of Ukraine.US president Donald Trump has also tried to put pressure on both sides to end the war – even if it means resolving it on Putin’s terms – but Moscow keeps coming up with new conditions for peace. Despite bombarding Ukraine consistently since invading in February 2022, Putin’s ambassador to the UK also accused Kyiv of intensifying the war last week after Ukraine deployed more than 100 attack drones across Russia.Speaking to Sky News, Andrei Kelin said this was a “serious escalation” and claimed the UK had helped orchestrate the attack.Keir Starmer’s spokesperson told reporters: “We’ve been round this a few times this week, we just don’t comment on operational matters.”Related...Trump's White House Redirects Thousands Of Missiles Meant For Ukraine's Use, Zelenskyy SaysTrump Claims Ukraine Gave Putin A Reason To 'Bomb The Hell Out Of Them' – Forgetting 1 Obvious DetailPutin Ambassador Accuses UK Of Helping Ukraine Attack Russia – And Comes Up With A Bizarre British Motive
