Chaly believes that the US will pay attention to the possibilities of exiting the war in Ukraine.
Chaly noted that the key region for US military operations is the Indo-Pacific region / photo: UNIANEvery new president of the United States revises the geopolitical strategy and this is normal, Valery Chalyy, the chairman of the board of the Ukrainian Crisis Media Center, Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States from 2015 to 2019, told Public Radio.
According to Chaly, “everyone prepares the strategy: the intelligence community, the Pentagon, various institutions, and the White House forms the general ideology.”
“This time, the following approach has been laid: the Indo-Pacific region has been identified as a key region for American military operations,” he said.
The diplomat explained that it is not about the Atlantic Ocean, as we often think, but about the Pacific Ocean: China, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and the DPRK, Japan.
“This is the first thing that determines the strategy — rivalry with China and readiness for a possible collision,” added the former ambassador of Ukraine to the United States.
He also explained that the second point in this US strategy is a gradual exit from the Middle East, “although this sounds quite contradictory.”
“There is also attention to the Russian-Ukrainian war, but in the context of the need to get out of it,” Chaly noted.
Also, according to the diplomat, there is also a concentration of forces on the American continent. Chaly noted that it is already possible to see how many weapons, ships and fighter jets the USA has pulled around Venezuela.
Also, added the former ambassador of Ukraine to the USA, the provision on the possible internal use of the armed forces on the territory of the country is completely new in the strategy of the USA.
“This has not happened for a long time. With the arrival of President Trump, the situation is obviously changing, but this does not mean that the strategy will remain the same in the future: the next president can approve a new one,” Chaly noted.
The war in Ukraine: the latest newsEarlier, UNIAN reported that Ukraine’s ambassador to the US Valery Chaly noted that China is one of the signatories of the Budapest Memorandum. Having signed this document, Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in exchange for security guarantees. However, as Chaly noted, China has an interesting official position regarding the Budapest Memorandum. Beijing interprets this agreement so that China will not attack Ukraine with nuclear weapons, these are the “guarantees” of this country.
We also wrote that Chaly assumes that the key goal of the Kremlin in potential peace negotiations with Ukraine will be to take the entire Donbas under its control. The former ambassador of Ukraine to the USA added that this will become a trophy that can be shown to the Russian people. The former ambassador considers the Kremlin’s demands to be particularly dangerous statements regarding Ukraine’s domestic political system, in particular, in the language issue.
