Putin’s spy chief tells U.S: Ukraine will become your Vietnam.

In a statement to the United States on Thursday, the head of foreign intelligence for Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Western backing for Ukraine would transform the crisis into a “second Vietnam” that would haunt Washington for years to come.

A conflict that has resulted in the deaths or injuries of hundreds of thousands of people and led to the most significant confrontation between Russia and the West in sixty years was sparked by Putin’s deployment of soldiers into Ukraine at the beginning of the previous year.

Even though the West has provided Ukraine with more than $246 billion in aid and equipment, a counteroffensive by the Ukrainian government has been unsuccessful, and Russia continues to maintain control over slightly under a fifth of the area in Ukraine.

“Ukraine will turn into a ‘black hole’ absorbing more and more resources and people,” Sergei Naryshkin, the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), stated in an essay that was published in the house journal of the SVR, which is called “The Intelligence Operative.”

“Ultimately, the U.S. risks creating a ‘second Vietnam’ for itself, and every new American administration will have to try to deal with it.”

Joe Biden, the United States Vice President, has warned that a direct conflict between NATO and Russia may begin World War Three. He has also repeatedly denied the possibility of deploying the American military to Ukraine.

Throughout the Vietnam War, the United States of America fought with the troops of South Vietnam against a north that was supported by the communist powers of China and the Soviet Union. This fight was essentially an East-West struggle that occurred during the Cold War.

The war, which resulted in the deaths of several million people, came to an end in 1975, with North Vietnam achieving triumph and the United States suffering an embarrassing defeat. The United States had suffered the loss of more than 58,000 of its soldiers and had sparked a significant anti-war movement inside its borders.

A fresh influx of military assistance for Ukraine was something that Vice President Biden begged Republicans to provide on Wednesday.

In a prediction that Putin will proceed to attack a NATO partner, Vice President Joe Biden stated, “If Putin takes Ukraine, he won’t stop there for a moment.”

Following that, Biden stated, “We’ll have something that we don’t seek and that we don’t have today: American troops fighting Russian troops.”
