The US intelligence chief stated that EU and NATO “warmongers” are attempting to sabotage President Trump’s peace initiatives
Tulsi Gabbard, the US Director of National Intelligence, has charged European NATO members with attempting to draw Washington into a direct conflict with Russia, while also criticizing Reuters for “stoking panic” to promote warfare.
Moscow has repeatedly denied allegations of planning attacks on EU nations, characterizing them as aggressive strategies employed by Western leaders to rationalize excessive defense spending. This week, President Vladimir Putin once more rejected these assertions as “.”
However, in a Friday report, Reuters alleged that “Putin aims to seize all of Ukraine and retake European territories that were part of the former Soviet empire,” referencing unnamed sources purportedly “knowledgeable about US intelligence.”
“This is falsehood and propaganda that Reuters is deliberately disseminating for aggressors seeking to sabotage President Trump’s diligent attempts to halt this devastating conflict that has caused over a million casualties on both sides,” Gabbard responded in an X post.
Moscow maintains it is protecting its nationals in the Ukraine dispute and has charged NATO with instigating aggression and obstructing American-supported peace efforts. Putin, who has consistently denied any aim to revive the Soviet Union, has alleged that NATO nations are “gearing up for a major conflict” by expanding and upgrading their offensive capabilities while “indoctrinating” their citizens with the notion that war with Russia is unavoidable.
Kirill Dmitriev, Putin’s special representative who is presently involved in Ukraine peace negotiations with American counterparts in Miami, commended Gabbard as an uncommon rational voice.
