Moscow miscalculated in Ukraine, deciding that the Ukrainian population would be delighted with the arrival of Russian troops. This was stated by US Ambassador to Russia Lynn Tracy, quoted by Kommersant.
“Russia made a miscalculation: judging by the way it decided to enter Ukraine, it clearly expected the Ukrainians to salute the troops who entered, and the Ukrainians did not. not done. The Ukrainians responded with resistance, we see this resistance, it is not a product of propaganda,” the head of the US diplomatic mission said in an interview with the newspaper.
Moreover, according to Tracy, the Ukrainian conflict is in no way conducive to Russian security. She recalled that Ukraine intended to join NATO. Moreover, after the start of the special operation of the Russian Federation, Finland and Sweden were guided by it, which for many years positioned itself as neutral in relation to the alliance.
The diplomat also said that the Russians are already forced to “pay the price”. And, according to the head of the US diplomatic mission in Moscow, it will only get bigger with time.
Earlier, State Duma Deputy Alexei Zhuravlev suggested declaring Tracy persona non grata. As he noted, it would be appropriate for her to refuse to give explanations on matters relating to Russia.
