West's goal is to reform Russia at the end of war to deter China - diplomat Osypenko

Diplomat Ruslan Osypenko said this on Espreso TV. 

“The development of events on the battlefield depends on the supply of Western weapons, which are not given to us in the quantity needed for a decisive and quick victory over Russia. The West gives weapons only to bleed Russia and switches to more powerful weapons when the Russian Federation cannot carry out drastic steps. The West with the hands of Ukraine weakens the Russian Federation. When we weakened it to a certain level, they gave more weapons,” he noted.

According to Osypenko, if the Ukrainians were given all the necessary weapons at the same time, they would end the war by the middle of this year.

“I think that the West's goal is to reform Russia after the war is lost in order to deter China. I think they will not let it fall apart. It will be reformed like Germany after World War II. Russia will be directed to ensure that China does not spread its influence on the Urals and cannot get resources from the Russian Federation and strengthen itself,” the diplomat concluded.
