American politician and ex-presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticised US President Joe Biden’s decision to deploy Boris Johnson to Ukraine to ‘tear up’ a peace agreement, while warning Washington of the continued possibility of a 'nuclear exchange', during an address to the nation in Phoenix on Friday.
Kennedy noted the war in Ukraine is one of the three main reasons he joined the 2024 presidential race, alongside protecting free speech and putting an end to 'the war on our children'. He explained that this was also behind his exit from the Democratic Party and his endorsement of Republican candidate Donald Trump after he decided to suspend his campaign.
"Tiny Ukraine is a proxy in a geopolitical struggle initiated by the ambitions of the US Neocons for American global hegemony," stated Kennedy. "The war is Russia’s predictable response to the reckless Neocon project of extending NATO to encircle Russia. A hostile act."
The politician listed a series of actions taken by Washington since the start of the Ukraine-Russia tension in 2014 and blamed Biden for forcing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to 'tear up a peace agreement that he and the Russians had already signed' and prolong the 'war' in April 2022.
"President Biden stated that month that his objective in the war was regime change in Russia. His Defence Secretary, Lloyd Austin, simultaneously explained that America’s purpose in the war was to exhaust the Russian army to degrade its capacity to fight anywhere else in the world. These objectives of course had nothing to do with what they were telling Americans about protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty," Kennedy said.
"Ukraine is the victim in this war and is a victim of the West. Since then we have forced Zelensky into tearing up the agreement, we have squandered the flower of Ukrainian youth," he went on.
"The war has been a disaster for our country as well. We squandered nearly $200 billion already, these are badly needed dollars in the suffering communities all over our country. The Nord Stream pipeline sabotage and sanctions have destroyed Europe’s industrial base, which formed the bulwark of US national security," Kennedy noted the negative impact the conflict brought to the US.
"We have pushed Russia into a disastrous alliance with China and Iran. We are closer to the brink of nuclear exchange than at any time since 1962, and the Neocons and the White House don't seem to care at all. Our moral authority and our economy are in shambles, and the war gave rise to the emergence of BRICS, which now threatens to replace the dollar as the global reserve currency. This is a first-class calamity for our country," he concluded, stressing the dire scenarios Washington might face following its actions against Russia.
Moscow launched a military offensive in Ukraine in late February 2022 after recognising the independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR), claiming that Kiev had failed to guarantee their special status under the 2014 Minsk Agreements, and urging Ukraine to declare itself officially neutral and give assurances that it would never join NATO.
Kiev denounced the Russian action as an invasion. Zelensky imposed martial law throughout the country and announced a general mobilisation, while the EU and the US imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow.
