Volodin: US turning Taiwan into another Ukraine
Washington is seeking to incite a new major conflict because global hegemony is slipping out of its grasp, Vyacheslav Volodin, Russian State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin has said.
He added out that the United Nations must condemn the US for purchasing weapons for Taiwan because these “provocative actions” risk triggering a major conflict involving China.
Writing on Telegram on Saturday, Volodin that that “Washington is preparing Taiwan to follow the fate of Ukraine” and lambasted US President Joe Biden for “making yet another mistake” by planning to provide military aid to Taiwan using some of the money earmarked for Ukraine.
The speaker of the state assembly was referring to a recent Financial Times report saying that the White House is set to ask Congress to expedite arms funding for Taipei by including a request in the budget focused on helping Kiev fight Russia.
He explained that, after the failure of its Ukraine policy, the US is now “seeking salvation in a new conflict while being confronted by the risk of losing its hegemony.”
