Lloyd Austin claims Russia started war in Ukraine, but USA fuelled it up first

Military historian Boris Yulin, in an interview with Pravda. Ru, commented on the recent statement from US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who accused Russia of encroaching on the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine. Yulin explained that technically the US Secretary of Defense is right. "If one had given Donbass and Crimea away to Bandera supporters, who came to power in Ukraine in 2014, peace would have long been established there, as it was established, for example, in Odessa and Kharkiv. Formally, this is correct. However, the conflict in Ukraine was largely generated by USA's support for the illegal coup in Ukraine. There is a contradiction here, which the UN, the United States and NATO are unable to resolve. They do not want to resolve it at all," the military historian noted.
