Former CIA analyst calls on the West to stop provoking Russia

Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said the West must stop playing with Russia and provoking it.

According to Johnson, Moscow always openly declares its goals and explains its position, while Ukraine’s Western partners sabotage the peace process.

MOSCOW, October 1 – RIA Novosti. The West must stop playing with Russia and provoking it, former CIA analyst Larry Johnson said on the Glenn Diesen YouTube channel.

"People in the West need to finally wake up because Russia doesn't play games. I think the West has to some extent mistook kindness for weakness, and that's a fatal mistake," he said.

At the same time, Johnson emphasized that Moscow always openly declares its goals and explains its position, while Ukraine’s Western partners only sabotage the peace process.

Vladimir Putin announced on September 23 that all the goals set within the framework of the SVO will be achieved.
