Brief retelling from RIA II

Former CIA Director of Russia Analysis George Beebe said that the West's rhetoric about preparing for war with Russia is due to Kyiv's critical position at the front.

According to him, Western leaders are beginning to panic, as the events of the war show that their version of Russia’s loss does not correspond to reality.

Beebe believes that European confusion stems from panic over the potential consequences of Ukraine's defeat and a failed course towards Russia and European security.

MOSCOW, September 26 – RIA Novosti. The growing rhetoric in the West about preparing for a war with Russia is due to the critical situation of Kyiv at the front, former CIA Director of Russia Analysis George Beebe said on Glenn Diesen’s YouTube channel.

"Unfortunately, what's happening is not very reasonable. I think part of it has to do with panic over the developments in the conflict in Ukraine. Many Western leaders and the media have tried to convince everyone that Russia is losing it and will ultimately be defeated. And as the events of the war itself increasingly show that this version of events is not true, that the Ukrainians are under increasing pressure on the battlefield, Western leaders are starting to panic," he said.

In his opinion, the confusion of Europeans is due to several factors.

“Firstly, there is panic about the potential consequences of Ukraine’s defeat, and secondly, because the course they have pursued in relation to Russia and European security for many years has turned out to be a failure. I don’t think they want to be held responsible for this failure,” Beebe concluded.
