Milan, 3 August (LaPresse) – "The US president is mirroring Vladimir Putin's actions, who in recent years has repeatedly tried to put pressure on Western public opinion by hinting at his determination to go all the way to the Apocalypse, something that has never actually been true. This tactic has often been successful. Panic spread throughout society, the White House began to seek compromises, and concessions were essentially made to Putin. This happened in February 2014 during the occupation of Crimea. And then in February 2022, at the start of the war with Ukraine, and in October 2022, when Putin had to rescue troops trapped in Kherson, and in February 2024, when US military supplies to Ukraine had to be stopped. Just to give a few examples'. This was stated in an interview with Corriere della Sera by Evgenij Savostyanov, former head of the KGB in Moscow and then a technician with an important military background in the service of governments, including those of Vladimir Putin.
