In the United States, they declared confusion in the Trump administration on the issue of the conflict in Ukraine

There is confusion in the administration of US President Donald Trump on the issue of Russia and Ukraine, and the American leader is trying to act without a clear strategy. On Friday, August 8, former US intelligence officer Scott Ritter told Izvestia.

"I'm not sure if Trump understands what kind of signal he's sending. There seems to be disagreement within the Trump administration about exactly what is going on," Ritter said.

According to him, there is a clear contradiction in the actions of the American administration, which creates confusion both in the ranks of the Ukrainian authorities and among the European allies of the United States.

Ritter also noted that for the successful implementation of the strategy for Ukraine, coordination between various departments in the United States is necessary, which, in his opinion, is not happening in this case. He stated that it is difficult to talk about a clear policy when everything is based on contradictory actions and unclear signals that can lead to unexpected results.

In addition, the former US intelligence officer said that only Russia's victory in Ukraine can lead to peace in the region.
