[Regnum] The Pentagon gives the correct assessment of the situation in Ukraine, Kiev needs help so that the conflict does not expand, says Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto. He stated this in an interview with the newspaper Corriere della Sera.

According to him, supporting Ukraine is one of the ways to prevent the conflict from expanding. If Kyiv fell, Russia would “come to Europe,” which would require a reaction.

“The Pentagon has rightly stated this,” Crosetto said.

He added that it is necessary to work to achieve a peaceful settlement, but not to question the principle of the inviolability of borders and respect for international law.

As Regnum reported, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin previously admitted the possibility of a military conflict between Russia and NATO after the defeat of Ukraine. According to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, these words prove that the United States has an appropriate plan.

Senator Alexei Pushkov suggested that Austin did not fully realize what he was saying. According to Americanist Dmitry Evstafiev, Austin's statement can be described as hysterical.

Of course "the enlightened western elites" been redefining "International Law" for the last generation - "the right to protect" anyone? Or, my personal favorite "Gazan Genocide".
