Ukraine Has Been Turned Into Tool of US Foreign Policy, Has Practically Lost Its Sovereignty: Putin
Russian authorities and senior military officials have expressed serious concerns in recent days over Kiev's possible use of a 'dirty bomb' on its own territory to accuse Moscow of nuclear terrorism. The threat of such a false flag attack would escalate the eight-year-old Ukrainian security crisis into dangerous and uncharted new territory.
The United States has turned Ukraine into a "battering ram" to attack Russia, President Vladimir Putin has said. 💬 "The country has factually lost its sovereignty and is being directly controlled by the United States, which is using [Kiev] as a battering ram against Russia, against our Union State with the Republic of Belarus, against the Collective Security Treaty Organization and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) as a whole," Putin said, speaking at a meeting of CIS security and special services chiefs on Wednesday.
Characterizing contemporary Ukraine as a nation that's been turned into a "tool of American foreign policy," Putin suggested that Washington's "true attitude" toward its "satellites" has been clearly demonstrated in the country, with its territory "almost immediately turned into a testing ground for military biological experiments" in the aftermath of the 2014 Maidan coup. The Russian president accused Washington of ignoring Kiev's talk about acquiring a nuclear weapon, as well as false flag provocations involving a 'dirty bomb', and instead continuing to pump the country full of heavy weaponry.
