Statements by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov threatening foreign diplomats working in Kyiv are a sign of desperation within the Kremlin leadership and will contribute to increased U.S. assistance to Ukraine.
According to Ukrinform's correspondent, this was stated in Kyiv by U.S. Congressman Jim Himes, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, during a press briefing.
The congressman said the Russian foreign minister's threats are a sign of Moscow's weakness and highlighted three key messages they contain.
Congressman Jim Himes stressed that the situation was a sign of complete desperation. He added that, for the first time in a very long time, the Russians were plainly losing ground in Ukraine and that the price they were paying to defend and attempt to seize additional territory was staggering. He predicted that in the coming months Ukrainian forces would continue reclaiming territory while inflicting enormous losses on Russia.
