Russia’s war against Ukraine involves the entire free world, because Putin is targeting not only Ukraine but also the United States—its lifestyle, security, and status as the leader of the free world. This was emphasized by Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Chairman of the Kyiv Security Forum and Prime Minister of Ukraine from 2014 to 2016, in an interview with American journalist Laura Loomer.
“Putin isn’t just targeting us. He’s targeting you: your lifestyle, your security in the United States. And he wants to strip you of your status as the leader of the free world. Putin isn’t alone. He’s too weak to stand up to the Americans. There is a real axis of evil, and this axis of evil has taken shape over the past few years,” noted the KSF Chairman.
China, according to Yatsenyuk, is Russia’s key strategic partner and has provided it with vital support. “The Chinese are supplying dual-use materials, actively purchasing Russian oil, providing financial support, have begun conducting joint military exercises, are asking the Russians to provide advanced technologies for Chinese submarines, and are receiving from Russia a huge amount of intelligence gathered on the battlefield in Ukraine,” the former prime minister emphasized.
The Chairman of the KSF stressed that Ukraine’s defeat would have a domino effect across the globe. “The strategic goal of Russia, China, North Korea, and other pariah states around the world is to undermine the United States’ position and destroy your way of life. And if they prevail in Ukraine, it will serve as a ‘green light’ and trigger a domino effect across the globe. If we prevail in Ukraine, it will be a shared victory for the United States, the European Union, and Ukraine,” he emphasized.
