MOSCOW - Russia on Friday accused the United States of inciting Ukraine to escalate the war by condoning attacks on Crimea, warning that Washington was now directly involved in the conflict because “crazy people” had dreams of defeating Russia.
“They supply weapons in huge quantities, provide intelligence and participate directly in the planning of combat operations,” Ms Zakharova said, adding that some US officials dreamed like “crazies” of defeating Russia. “No matter what the Ukrainians decide about Crimea in terms of where they choose to fight etcetera, Ukraine is not going to be safe unless Crimea is at a minimum, at a minimum, demilitarised,” Ms Nuland told the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington.
The United States has denied that it wants to destroy Russia, while President Joe Biden has cautioned that a conflict between Russia and Nato could trigger World War III, though he has also said Mr Putin should not remain in power.
