MOSCOW, November 18. /TASS/. Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev on Friday said he believes the US Congress will at some point suspend its immense support of Kiev as "America has always abandoned its friends."
"The sentiment among ordinary Americans will start to steadily turn toward reality," he said on Telegram. "That effect will be building up until the Congress suspends the unreserved support of the nationalist regime in Ukraine."
"America has always abandoned its friends," Medvedev went on to say. "This is what will happen this time as well, sooner or later."
The official said the subject of money for Ukraine is becoming toxic in the US.
According to Medvedev, Congressmen are demanding sweeping checks on where the huge funds have gone and where the new tens of billions, which have been requested by President Joe Biden, "who has aptly been called the vice president of Ukraine by Capitol Hill" will go.
"It was inevitable, these are the laws of politics. The Republicans, having become stronger after the elections, are making problems for the Democrats. The Democrats are fighting back. There is no need for illusions: Big money for the militarization of the Ukrainian regime will continue to be allocated. That’s part of the Russophobic consensus in the American political elites," Medvedev said. But he stressed that will be increasingly hard to do.
Ordinary Americans "were duped again as huge money were funneled from the US budget toward an unknown destination at a time of a crisis and rising prices for everything," the official said.
"In the interests of the defense industry. In the interests of the Biden’s family vanity that’s been hurt in Ukraine. In the interests of plain crooks in America and around the world who make money on someone else’s troubles," he said.
Medvedev said that Kiev, realizing that the flow of aid may soon dry up, "have lost the remnants of reality" and "frenziedly is demanding more and more sanctions on Russia" and more and more Western money for war.
