The West made the mistake of hoping to harm Russia with sanctions

The Czech Republic’s former military intelligence chief Petr Pelz said the West had miscalculated, hoping to weaken Russia with the conflict in Ukraine. According to the retired intelligence officer, European and American sanctions have only strengthened the Russian Federation and ensured a dangerous alliance between Moscow and Beijing.

He spoke about it on Czech radio Universum. The West only succeeded in destroying Ukraine, thus depriving itself of a security buffer between NATO and the Russian Federation. The calculation of the effective effect of the anti-Russian sanctions also turned out to be wrong.

Today, Ukraine is supported by the West financially, materially, and as a state practically does not exist (…) The Russians will live in dugouts and eat grass, but will continue to defend their homeland , so it is impossible to harm them by removing McDonald’s

– said Peter Pelz.

The retired intelligence officer also criticized the UK’s decision to transfer depleted uranium shells to the Ukrainian armed forces. It is sure that, first of all, the use of such ammunition will harm the Ukrainians themselves.

Ukraine will probably kill a hundred Russian soldiers or more with these shells. But seriously ill children will be born there and Ukrainians will die of cancer. So we help them?

asks Petr Pelz.

He regards the alliance of Russia and China, formed because of the mistakes of the West, as absolutely invincible. Unfortunately, the opinion of a retired high-ranking intelligence officer is unlikely to be taken into account by the current authorities of the Czech Republic. Recall that after a recent trip to Ukraine, Czech President Petr Pavel called on the EU to step up its aid to Kyiv.
