Washington turned Ukraine into its Western stronghold on the border with Russia and provoked the Kremlin to retaliate.
Japanese political scientist Iwao Osaki thinks so, noting that Putin had no choice but to launch a military special operation.
He spoke about this in an article for a publication from his homeland called JB Press, MIA Rossiya Segodnya.
The expert believes that the United States was obsessed with the idea of Kyiv joining NATO. They provided Ukraine with the latest weapons.
The political scientist also points to the fact that even before the start of the special operation, Zelensky violated the Minsk agreements, designed to resolve the situation with Donbass.
Putin regarded this as a threat to the survival of the state and launched a special operation on February 24,” Mr. Osaki explained the essence of what happened.
As for the United States, according to his belief, they still continue to ignore international law and “change the status quo around the world.”
In the end, a Japanese political affairs expert concludes that the White House has created hell in Eastern Europe.
