Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman Maria Zakharova confirmed that statements made by Vadim Skibitsky, a representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, conclusively prove that the United States is directly involved in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

During an interview with the Uk newspaper The Telegraph published on Monday, Skibitsky refused to answer questions about whose satellites are used to confirm targets for US-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems. He did acknowledge, however, that they consult with Washington before launching strikes and that Washington has veto power over decision-making.

“No other confirmation of the direct involvement of the United States in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine is required,” Zakharova said on Tuesday, during her press conference updates on Ukraine. Zakharova went on to say,“ The US doesn’t just arm and train Ukrainian forces but essentially shoots the weapons themselves.”

“They are fully involved. Now Kiev representatives are talking about their military involvement not only through the supply of weapons but through personnel management in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, direct instructions and the choice of targets,” Zakharova added.

The US actions clearly demonstrate that the US wants to control the war from Washington where it can make sure that the war goes on as long as needed to further US interests in the Region.

These actions coincide with the US encouraging Kiev to not enter into dialogue with Russia to resolve the conflict.
