The United States did not take enough steps to stop Russia and restore peace in Ukraine in 2014. This was stated this during the Black Sea Security Forum, former USA Former Director and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who held these positions in the first term of Donald Trump.
"I regret that we did not take any steps in 2014 and 2022 ... And I was involved in the Minsk talks ... We have already seen a lot and heard. And it seemed to be a certain line of control, but it did not stop the mass aggression in 2022.
"Even if the war stops, we cannot return to Russian gas," as Moscow can find a new target for its aggression at any moment. It can be the north or the Mediterranean, where the Russian Federation has its own military contingent. If Putin puts his arms, we need to understand that it can be easily repeated. And it can not be Ukraine, but any other region, where the Russian military contingent is present, "Pompeo said.
