  The United States is leading a “proxy war” against Russia and Ukraine serves as the battlefield, says Don DeBar, political commentator and radio host from New York.

  The head of US forces in #Europe has warned about Russia’s militarization of the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea. After meeting with Ukrainian leaders, US Air Force General Philip #Breedlove, who is #NATO’s top military commander, said the United States was “watching for indications” that Russia might move “nuclear capabilities” on the peninsula.

  Gen. Breedlove was in #Kiev for high-level talks over the crisis in #Ukraine. “The United States watching Russia and accusing it of militarizing Crimea is a fantastic concept; when you consider that Russia has had a naval base there since 1783,” DeBar told Press TV on Thursday.

  “There was a treaty negotiated with Ukraine in 2010, extending Russia’s lease from Ukraine, when Crimea was gifted from Ukraine to Russia” and allowed “the Russian Navy to stay there until 2042,” he continued.

  “There has been a tug of war back and forth between the #US and Russia basically, and with Ukraine as a proxy, since the fall of the Soviet Union… when Russia and Ukraine were part of the same nation state,” the analyst noted.

  Washington accuses Moscow of arming and supporting pro-Russian forces fighting in Ukraine, a charge dismissed as “groundless” by #Russia. The conflict broke out in April following Crimea’s reunification with the Russian Federation a month earlier.
